Today we decided to visit the San Diego Zoo. We took the trolly to the Santa Fe Depot and then walked to the American Plaza station where we caught the 215 bus that took us to the zoo. The San Diego Zoo is enormous. They have animals from all over the world, like lions, tigers, elephants and even pandas. We walked all over the zoo. The animals are in habitats that mimic how they would live in the wild. The zoo was also very crowded. We had to stand in a long line to get tickets and then again in a long line to see the pandas. We took the bus tour late in the afternoon, when the line wasn’t as long. After spending all day at the zoo, we went back to the hotel.
For dinner, we went to a place called Lou & Mickey’s in the Gaslamp District. We took the trolley to get there. It is a steakhouse that also serves fish. The sides are served family style, that is, you order the sides and then share with everyone at the table. It was pretty good, but again it was expensive.
