Monday May 14th:

We had taken the weekend off to relay and to avoid the expected heavy crowds at the places that we had wanted to see so put the off until today and Tuesday. Today we drove up to Balboa Park in San Diego and stopped in to tour the world famous zoo. It lived up to all of its billing. There were animals there from all over the world. I didn't know which to show here, but settled on the Giant Panda from China. This was a good shot of one walking toward us. We spent all day there and were thoroughly tired when we came back, but still had to go walk the dogs for their exercise period. If anyone gets out here I do recommend the zoo. There is a Wild Animal Park that you drive through about 35 miles north, but we'll probably miss that.
