Joe and I and our friend Teresa took a trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park yesterday. It was a gorgeous day and we managed to get a lot of good photos.

I posted some of the other photos on my flickr page and if you click on the photo to the right, you can see a slideshow of the best shots.

Anyone want to go to Kenya?

My friend Erisa sent me this wonderful link about an animal sanctuary in Kenya:

"Formerly known as Bamburi Nature Trail until 1999, Haller Park is a unique ecological restored quarry situated on the North Coast of Mombasa along the Mombasa Malindi road... Open to the public for the last 21 years, the Nature Park Sanctuary is home to a variety of plant and animal species ...

"Visitors have the unique opportunity of close up contact with the variety of animal species, through our educational guided tours tailored to their requirement... The attractions to be found in this Coastal Sanctuary include a Crocodile Farm, Reptile Park with a rich variety of snake species, beautiful serene Palm Garden and Game Sanctuary....

Haller Park is also the home of that famous couple, Owen and Mzee.There are three very popular childrens' books about these two unlikely friends and they are all wonderful.

If you don't know the story of Owen and Mzee here's a brief overview:

In December 2004, a frightened young hippo, separated from his family by a devastating tsunami, bonded with an Aldabra tortoise named Mzee. The 130 year-old tortoise accepted Owen as his own, and an inseparable bond was forged

So, who wants to go to Kenya with me and visit Haller Park? I'm free next friday.
heh...
