More stuff in San Diego

Hi there,
 Here are some more recent pictures. We took a ferry to Coronado one afternoon this week - Coronado is a peninsula that looks back on downtown San Diego - it is only a 15 minute ride. here's San Diego as we launch....

the beach was less busy than Mission Beach/Pacific Beach, where we had been previously, but very nice!

the waves were huge, so we did go boogie boarding, but stuck very close to shore.
We also visited the San Diego zoo in Balboa park. Here are a few animal pics from that....

the baby "takin" in this next picture was quite a big deal to the zoo - the animal is from China and is endangered due to industrial activities taking away it's habitat, so the zoo was thrilled that a baby was born in late December, and is doing well

and a human animal.....

the human animal is using a form of transportation called a "sky tram" to travel back to the beginning of the zoo (these animals often try to mimic other lifeforms, in this case, birds)

speaking of birds, tony took this picture of a blimp from our condo balcony - the blimp is for the upcoming PGA golf tournament that is being held at a course in San Diego (Torrey Pines). We are going to attend on Thursday and hobnob with Tiger and company

but now.... back to work!! (both pictures from Cafe Italia, a great place to work in Little Italy)
