back!
This weekend we went to San Diego to visit friends. It was sprinkling the whole way down and raining all the way back up the coast.
BUT in the middle, in the morning, it wasn't raining and we went to the San Diego Zoo. Highlights:
- the 4 month old panda, Shen Shen, who was small and cute (but sleeping. bummer)
- her big sister Su Lin, who was actually up and doing stuff. I have panda video! It's awesome.
- my rugrat DEMANDING to go see the polar bears next, even though polar bears are way off in the far corner of the park...
- watching a keeper feed a komodo dragon. and HOW do you feed a Komodo dragon, you ask? Well, apparently you stick its food into a big cardboard box, tape it up, and then watch the big lizard bash the hell out of the box until he gets a hole in it, wiggles his head inside, and eats the contents. We never saw what was inside.
- have a goat try to eat the leather tassels on my purse
- Wee dik-diks running around
- a giant condor POSING just for me, with its wings outspread
But best of all? Having the park practically to ourselves because everyone else was afraid of the rain. bwhahaha, CHICKENS!
