San Diego day #3

On Day #3 Glenn had class again from 8-5. We went out our door for breakfast and saw a very large dead rat. I screamed. Gross. Then I decided that if the shuttle would take me to the zoo that is what I would do.  And to my surprise they were happy too. So I went to San Diego Zoo by myself! I can't believe I did that! But honestly I had a good time. It is really cool but it is also really huge! There were really steep hills to climb to see everything and some double decker buses that took you places. It was so crowded. I waited for an hour to see the Panda sleeping with his bum towards me, sad. But the lady telling us about the panda had the brightest hair I have ever seen and she was entertaining. I loved the monkey land. It was pretty cool. And they had a program where they raised dogs with wild animals as their companion. That was fun to see. The polar bear was brown, somewhat weird to see that. I heard a lion roar, it was awesome and LOUD! I even rode the people mover in the sky by myself. It helped to send pictures to Joy all day, made me feel like I was there for her. I was so worn out after like 5 hours I decided to head back so the shuttle driver picked me up and took me back. It was a fun day.

 When I got back we went to dinner one last time as a group. It was fun to get to know new people. We heard about a rootbeer and jerky place in Old Town so we tried that after. It was ok. We had pecan rootbeer, not my favorite. But fun experience. I was exhausted by the time we went back to the hotel. But we went and sat in the hot tub for a bit. It was the best view!  Didn't take our phones so no pic though. Day #3 was a success and I felt so grown up hanging out by myself at the zoo! Would have been better with Glenn but he had class.
