Tuesday - The Zoo, The Mission, The Farmer's Market and The James Joyce

I don't think I wrote when in April Aaron and James came to visit - it was April 12-19. These were'n the original dates, but with Skybus going under and some quick changes these were the final dates. And they even had a refund from Master Card credited to their account while out here.

Tuesday morning we spent at the zoo. This zoo seems to have a lot of exotic birds, but with the temperate climate they must be easier to care for than in Toledo Ohio.
I seemed to fall in love with the flamingos. The first picture they were all eating, later we came back to take more pictures, but most of them were taking a nap. There were a few awake and a few fighting for a better sleep spot. Just like kids fighting over who rides by the window. Did you know that what looks like a flamingo's knee is really his ankle.
This is the old mission in Santa Barbara, the grounds are beautiful with a larage rose garden across the street. I must not have taken any pictures of the Farmer's Market or the evening at the James Joyce, but we have written about both enough in this blog. Just think about 2 family members along to share the fun.
