Old Town and the Zoo again

I finally made it back to the San Diego Zoo. I really love that place. Its gorgeous and so open. The animals are quite lucky to have such natural enclosures. I’m always mesmerized by the gorillas and elephants. My attention was taken by the forever pee of a rhino. Seriously, we watched it pee for at least 4 minutes!! I had to take a picture!

Then I visited Old Town, the birthplace of San Diego and good Mexican restaurants! : ) It was like walking around the wild west. The adobe buildings were well kept. I also visited the Whaley House which is stated to be the #1 haunted house in the US. It wasn’t so scary!!! I took a bunch of pics hoping that one may have been ‘altered’ but nope!!! I guess Yankee Jim was taking an ecto-nap. The lady guide stated that a year ago she saw a ghost dog. I guess not all dogs go to heaven.

My friend Jaime and I was also able to get a hike in up to Cowles Mountain! It’s a pretty good hike. The recent rain made parts of the trail a little tricky but all the rocks kept my focus. I was just trying to not twist an ankle. It felt really good! My thighs hated me the next day though.
