San Diego Zoo



Apart from ZOOMAT in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico, where all the animals are indigenous to the region; the San Diego Zoo is the best zoo I've ever been to. I can almost forgive their bragging on the posters around the place proclaiming it to be the "World Famous San Diego Zoo." Nobody likes a braggart, San Diego.

Of course, to men of my age, San Diego Zoo means one thing, and one thing only:



Wherever that photo was taken, it doesn't seem to look like that any more. Either that, or I'm a dimwit who didn't find it. Anyway, that's just dorky Beach Boys stuff. For the rest of you, here's some pretty aminals.

Craig,
I find your admiration (obsession?) with the Beach Boys quite interesting. Here in the US, the Beatles seem to have the long-term mojo and, quite often, the Beach Boys get lost in their shadows. Did the Beach Boys have a bit more mystique in the UK? I bet it was that whole exotic CA surfer culture...

Cheers,
Dana
