Another Beautiful Day In San Diego

Today, amidst the job hunting and self-loathing, a friend and I decided we should get out of the house and head to Sea World. Since funds are non-existant for me, the one stipulatin was that I couldn't do anything that cost money. Since we both in fact had Sea World passes, we headed down to San Diego (after a pit-stop in Del Mar where we ate mediocre Thai food) and made our way about the park. It was a gloomy and a bit chilly, but the animals were as lively as ever. We spent a lot of time talking about anything and watching various animals in exhibits. The most entertaining moment was watching the puffins jump off the mountain in their small enclosure and belly-flop in the water. Why it was so amusing to me, I will never know. We also had discussions about the coloration on tropical fish and the purposes they served. Sea World is a fun place to be as long as you bring your own knowledge. I remember back in the day when it was educational...rarely do you see anything education now between trying to sell various Shamu products and pushing Seasame Street on children, but at least I have the fond memories from childhood.

I think the next time I adventure out, it will be to the Zoo.
