My Travels

Heard snow was coming through Mammoth Mountain and decided to do a quick trip up. Stayed overnight in Bishop, never did it before but it was the closest available city with lodging available to Mammoth. Stayed at a Ramada, the room was very functional. Booked an "efficiency" room and it ended up being a suite with full kitchen. Pretty cool. My roommie looked very pleased in the morning. :D Did a day at Mammoth. Went with two newbies and it was a good day. Small snow showers throughout the day, not a major storm but the powder was good. The newbies seemed to enjoy themselves.... It was a good day to go...only snag was a forgotten purse. :( Of course, went through the Dutch bakery, Eric Schlatz (?), in Bishop and bought too much bread! Tried a new dessert, a rolled up lace cookie with cream. A Dutch cannoli!! Yum.

Went to Wild Animal Park over the weekend. I've forgotten how nice the San Diego zoos are. If you've read some previous posts, most zoos I've come across have left a poor impression. I'm glad that the San Diego zoos exist and I think they are hands down the best model for live animals. It is sord of sad to think this as I still believe these animals are better off in their own natural habitats. Spent some time in La Jolla. I'm not a big fan of San Diego itself but I certainly enjoy this particular area. Had some really good Thai food with good ambiance. Service was a little slow but the panang duck curry and coconut custard made it up for me. Spice and Rice Thai Cafe on Girard, definitely stop by if you can.
