I didn’t really get a chance to write yesterday because I didn’t get home until late. So, I will write about yesterday today.

September 21st: Allie left for Davis and I went to San Francisco to visit Albert.

My mom, dad, Allie, and Dylan were all going to leave from around 8-9am, but they didn’t get out of the house until about 9:30-10am-ish, but whatever. After they left, I quickly cleaned and got ready and then off to San Francisco I went. I didn’t know how to get to San Francisco State, so I called Albert and he met me at Stonestown Mall. (While I waited for him, I bought a $5.32 beanie from H&M. Tehe, had to throw that in.) Anyways, then we decided we’d go to the Zoo, since I have anual passes. We looked at lemurs and other primates first and then made our way over to the Kangaroo “Walkabout”, where we saw kangaroos doing absolutally nothing. Not very exciting, but hey, still cool. Then we headed past some stange looking bird, called a “cassowary”, and then we saw an eagle sitting on a branch covered in shit. Pretty nasty, but hey, if that’s what its into…

Anyways, I was super excited for the Tropical Rain Forest Exhibit and the elephants, but it just so happened that those two exhibits were actually closed, so that kinda put an damper on my day, but oh well, Albert cheered me up by catching me a peacock. Okay, that didn’t actually happen, but if he did catch it, he’d probably die of some rare foreign deadly disease. Oh, and just for the record, the lions and tigers didn’t attack us…this time. Oo Oo! And we saw a rhino, kind of a big deal. It’s horn was shaved down like Hellboy’s though, how lame. We passed by some other strange animals  and even saw a couple of squirrels! I know, I know, you can see squirrels anywhere, but it was exciting because it was the only uncaged animal in the zoo other than peacocks.

Next up was the Nature Trail. It’s a favorite, even if it’s closed and no animals are in it, which there weren’t. But Albert and I found other ways to entertain us. He jumped into one of the gates areas (meant for employees holding and showing off the animals to tourists), and

acted like a crazy wild animal! Only…not really. It was then that he declared himself a rare animal to me and a man walking past with two young children. Smooth, Albert, real smooth. It was an enteraining Nature Trail walk to say the least. Next up was the Insect Zoo. Outside of the Insect Zoo is a massive spider-web made out of rope. I remember 12 years ago thinking that it was insanely huge, but looking at it now, it looks as though it shrunk. Obviously, I didn’t, I just grew. But it just seemed way to unbelieveably small compaired to what it looked like through my 5-year-old eyes. To the left you can see a picture of me acting like Spider-Man. No big deal, :pp

On with that day, then.

Next on the list were Meerkats. It was here that we observed those cuter little creature’s do their thing. Those things are my favorite. Look at the one on the right. So adorable, right? Tehe

Anyways, it was in the Meerkat area that Albert and I decided to crawl through the tunnel, meant for the bodies of 7-year-olds, but we managed to get through. Yeah, it was a tight fit, but we squeezed our way out. That’s what we were doing in the picture up top, if you were curious…

After all this, I was actually kind of tired from walking around all day, so we found a grassy area and just chilled there. I also climbed a tree. Kind of a big deal, I know, I know. Then we went back to the mall, ate food, went back to Albert’s dorm, chilled some more, and then I left. “/

So, that was my Sunday for ya. Hope the pictures kept ya’ll entertained, :pp
