3rd day - San Diego Zoo

3rd day of my travel. We went to the famous San Diego Zoo. Well , zoo is after all , zoo . Nothing really exciting incide except animals , animals , and more animals . Anyway , i must give credit to this zoo for being so commited to re-create the habitat of each animals. Tropicals , artics , deserts and all that. I really feel like i am back IN malaysia when we're in the malayan tiger area. At night , we went tour around San Diego around. Then we only found out that the neighbourhood we walked passed every morning is a really famous place for gays and lesbians . It is called Hillcrest , and you can read more about it in wikipedia(well , we know it from there) It is the hub / center of activities of those special communities. We saw lots of gays and les walking around the HillCrest area and there are lots of gay bars around. Well , one of my friend even got some "Special hello" from a gay . Funny ! But anyway , its an good experience.

2nd day - San Diego - Balboa Park + City Tour

Hi all . These are the photos from the 2nd day of my travel in San Diego. We Woke up late this morning .. so we changed our original plan of visiting San Diego Zoo. Instead , we went to balboa park and touring around the city first. Balboa park is a Very huge park . It hosted 13 museums of different kinds . The whole park gave us European's feeling as its building are all of Spanish style . Then we walk to the bay area . San Diego is famous of its beaches and water activities. The coastline is superb . zzzzzzits beautiful to see blue colour sea , white yards and ships , and gulls flying above. We also saw one of the US naval's carrier . It served in the world war 2 and now it has retired and take a back seat role - a floating , on-the-spot museum . On our way exploring thru the city , we found a street that hosted the recent Gay/Lesbian Pride parade. We saw their iconic flag - rainbow colour flags on every shops and street lamps . At night , we went to the famous GasLamp district in San Diego downtown. The whole street is filled with bars and grills , and restaurants . We went into one of the bar and drink some beers . A relax 2nd day !
