Janey the Orangutan
In the above pic, the caption on a photo of an orangutan's arm appearing through a square hole in the wall reads "San Diego Zoo keepers train the orangutans for medical procedures like injections and blood tests, reducing the need for anesthesia. Here, Janey is getting her blood drawn for a veterinary checkup."
Today was the much anticipated San Diego Zoo day. Of course the term "day" is used loosely, as we didn't arrive at the park until after 12 noon. In our excitement, we also took about 20 pictures before even stepping in past the entrance gates.
Tons of pictures and videos later, we were out of the park and well on our way to catch a glimps of the San Diego sunset. Armed without any maps (because we left them all on the counter this morning), we drove to La Jolla via the same route that we have taken many times in the past few day. When we were closer, but not quite there, On-Star came to our rescue, and enabled this magnificent view:
Tomorrow we set off on the adventure northwards, as we hope to get as far up the coast as possible.
JCL 4:00am
