During my brief stay with Ella and Eric, we crammed quite a few activities in--one of them being a visit to the San Francisco Zoo. It was the perfect day for a visit: a breezy 68 degrees, sunny, Ricky was able to meet us, and they were shooting a film the day of our visit. So, if you see our pretty mugs in the next Hollywood blockbuster, don't be surprised.
We got to see some pretty sweet animals, including some lemurs, giraffes, sunbathing gorillas, a depressed rhino (who was recently moved to a new cage), some sleeping lions, numerous hyperactive penguins, fighting grizzly bears, countless freaky insects, some temper mental flamingos, and--my personal favorite--a really pissed-off peacock (the tourist train ran right past his cage; thus, he had to endure an incessant "toot-toot" all day long). The crowds were a little brutal, being as they were mostly under the age of five and were strung together in a long, chain-link "buddy system." But I was able to maneuver myself to the front of crowds to capture some great photos; nothing that a few elbow-jabs couldn't take care of. So, all-in-all, it was an excellent day! I'm so glad I got to spend the day with my old cronies before taking the slow boat to China.
