I am glad I had the opportunity to visit the Huntington Library on this trip to the U.S. I have never been there before but have heard a lot of good things about it. Unfortunately, a lot of people assume the entire premise is full of books by its name.

I don’t like birds much, as you know, but this is an Audobon so even I have to take a picture.

Of course, this is Warhol, too!

So, as you can see, there are a lot to see besides books!

Going to the San Diego Zoo is definitely a new experience for me, but it shouldn’t be. I used to live in San Diego with my sister during the two years when I studied for my first master’s. I have no idea why I haven’t been there then. I mean, I have been to Sea World and Legoland even.
It is so much more than I expected. I had a great time. What made it even better was that one of my old colleagues from the University of San Diego was a member there and she gave me a free entrance pass!
