Day 18 – San Diego Zoo Safari Park
by chris cunningham
Oh god, yeah another theme park. Well there was no day 17 as I was wiped out and slept in and then ate bacon. So yeah there was a day 17 of me just slothing around. Today is day 18 though and it is super hot so lets go outside and stand around in the sun where there’s no relief. Should have brought a bigger hat but damn if elephants aren’t cool. It’s probably been the early 90s since I’ve been to this park. I do not remember anything about it though. So let’s take a shallow dive. Hot. Lot’s of walking. Elephants and Lions and deer. Oh my. Lot’s of deer. Lots. Terrible food. I didn’t buy anything becuase they didn’t have enamel pins. Let’s talk elephants though. Weird, right? Long trunk that curls up with water to then put it in your mouth. They throw dirt on themselves because they can get sunburnt. What? You’re from Africa man! Fascinating creatures and this park lets you see them pretty close up. You want to watch an elephant video to make you happy. Go on, watch the non-woolly mammoth, and you, yeah you, have a great day. I know I did. Off to L.A. tomorrow for a proper mooch around…
