Spent most of today at the zoo, which was fantastic. The apes and monkeys were awesome (of course). The elephants and meerkats were excellent as well. Unfortuntely no pandas... the baby was asleep, and we passed by the panda exhibit on a tour but didn't see anything through the trees, and didn't feel up to braving the insane lines.<br /><br />Yesterday was the Museum of Natural History to catch the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. It was pretty interesting... they got into a lot of the context of the origins of the Scrolls. The parchment themselves were pretty impressive for tiny eroding scraps of animal skin. No photos though, but they also had a great prehistoric fossil exhibit which I was able to take pictures in. Also got to walk down to the beach in Dan's neighborhood. Four photo galleries below...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/SanDiegoMuseumOfNaturalHistory"><img style="width: 184px; height: 140px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_OudPoE4PTo8/R3SwnXYEfrI/AAAAAAAAEuw/ECwp4EfmqoQ/s200/PC260108.JPG" /></a><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/PacificBeach"><img style="width: 190px; height: 140px;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_OudPoE4PTo8/R3Sw13YEfsI/AAAAAAAAEu4/iexA4nQJn-M/s200/PC260067.JPG" /></a></div><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/SanDiegoZoo">San Diego Zoo</a><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/PacificBeach">Pacific Beach</a><br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/SanDiegoMuseumOfNaturalHistory">San Diego Museum of Natural History</a><br /><br />[UPDATE] Just added pics of Seals and Pelicans at La Jolla Cove!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/LaJollaCove"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_OudPoE4PTo8/R3apgHYEf-I/AAAAAAAAExs/b2Dz4Eo9KNw/s400/DSCF3058.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5149489593145655266" border="0" /></a><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/peteboisvert/LaJollaCove">La Jolla Cove</a>Froggehhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10558411490156899682noreply@blogger.com
