Sunday 1 August

Another day, another fun time in San Diego.
After a breakfast (Free) we were off to the San Diego zoo.

We spent nearly six hours roaming the vast expanse of the zoo. Lions and tigers and bears (oh joy! Lions and tigers and bears (oh joy! – See the wizard of oz for details). We did see some amazing things like The polar bear enclosure, hippos sleeping under water and an amazing free flying bird show including one of the birds singing “Old McDonald Had a Farm”.

Flamingos, bears, snakes, zebras, and the list goes on.

We found out today that yesterday was the coldest July day in SD since 1914 (63.3 degrees) but today was we were coming home it was 81, quite a change.

We had a snooze when we got home and while Ben slept on Fay and I went to the cathedral for 5.15 mass. Actually the SATNAV took us to another (incorrect) address but we quickly drove ourselves (without SATNAV) to the cathedral and we were only 15 minutes late. The mass was said by an Australian bishop – the bishop for weewak in New Guinea... He has a sister who lives on Higgins and is good friends with a couple who are from the Kippax parish.

After mass we headed to Little Italy in SD and had a great meal and walked the streets for 30 minutes then made our way home...

It is now time for bed.

Tomorrow we are off the Camarillo, a place about 30 miles North of Santa Barbara – a 3 hour drive.
