Wednesday July 13th

Another busy day planned. This time a trip to the San Diego Zoo. This has a world wide reputation and is owned and operated by a non-profit organization. It takes in all sorts of buildings that contain museums of all kinds of beautiful Spanish type buildings all set in lovely shrubbery and flower beds. We had brought along a picnic lunch and then went first to find a picnic area. Bob went back and hoisted the two freezers and basket over the high wire fence and we all had a nice lunch. Canned ham - lettuce- tomatoes. Cucumber. Coffee, Milk- a boysenberry jelly roll. Repacked everything left it on the table and took off. We decided but fast that we could not cover the place on foot so we all climbed into an open bus where the bus driver has a loud speaking system to describe everything. Again it was stupendous. All the larger animals like the bears are as we have them at Franklin Park only  many more types. Again here they have here an ampitheatre where they put on daily shows (animal) for the public. We saw a monkey and seal act. By the way admittance charge for adults 50c-nothing for the children. We had seen what we could of the Zoo but again it would take a full day and
