I'm back. Last week was busy. Hoping next week is a little better. this is truly water weight following a day of limited access to my normal foods but lots of exercise early on.

I got to go to the zoo before opening to the public and we got to watch them doing feedings, etc. Learned how to administer a tranquilizer blow dart (keeping this skill in the archives) and some other fascinating stuff. I haven't been on a proper visit since 2018 (doesn't count running inside to shop for people or cocktails) so there were even more changes. Almost all for the better, they've been working on creating realistic habitats for all the animals and what they've done is pretty amazing. We didn't cover the whole thing because by the time the gates were open, we were spent. 3.6 miles before 9AM on some of the steepest hills in San Diego. I used to walk inside the zoo in the evenings before I had dogs. I kinda miss that, but not enough to leave them at home.

The downside is that breakfast was a mix of a side of onion rings and tater tots with coffee; we had vouchers and neither of us brought cash. I would have had soda except that was - no kidding - $9. I followed "breakfast" up with protein shakes and a preformed turkey patty for dinner. The salt was strong in that one, cannot wait until those are gone, never again, will make my own. 3.6 miles in the morning, another 2 with the dogs last night. Was doing to swim, but ran out of time and the wind was a bit overwhelming in the afternoon. I don't think it was the onshore either, it was too strong. TL/DR: I don't do well eating crap. I was ravenous in the middle of the night.

One of the more interesting tidbits I learned yesterday is that opossums only live about 1-2 years. Sad for such a cool creature that does such beneficial stuff. Learned that in the new children's zoo portion that they just finished during the plague.

Some pics of a walk not starring my dogs. A rarity in itself and it was strange walking by the entrance without them. Enjoy and happy Sunday. Weekend rules as soon as I hit enter.

A note about that cute polar bear. She has a reputation for luring in the wild birds for snacks. She is fast. We watched her go from "sleeping" to action. Tastes like chicken.

Fritzy, if you read this, I think your picture upload problem might be that the size of the image is too large. Just ran into that posting to this. I shrank them down to make it work.

I used to live only about 1.5 miles from there, and bought annual memberships just to exercise with fantastic scenery. Love your polar bear shot. My favorites have always been the meerkats. From that moment in childhood of watching prairie dogs on the Muppet Show, I have always wanted a family of undergrounds pop-ups to live in my backyard 😊

We were just there! No joke about the food, though. I bought a Diet Coke to go with my protein shake and apple and nearly had a heart attack.

What great photos! Thank you. 💕 At least you know once your no-other-option food is out of your system, you'll feel better. 👍

I had a great time after such a long break. my niece is coming this summer, so there will be more zoo adventures, I'm sure. I also learned that the commotion we hear sometimes at night when we're training the dogs is the lemurs fighting over food, toys or territories. it was very loud and dramatic, but good to finally know what it is.

Beautiful pictures! Onion rings and tater tots for breakfast. Like that.

Wow that's so amazing & you got great shots of the beautiful animals. I agree what a shame about the opossums! I didn't know they had such a short life. 😭 I was in San Diego once but didn't have time to go to the Zoo. I really regret that choice. Bucket list! I agree with you about the junk food. Hope you feel better soon.
