Finally in San Diego!

I arrived in San Diego on the 13th, this city is just amazing! Packing for this trip has been so surreal! The boat was also in San Diego when we arrived so we got to see that too, and it finally hit me that I am going to be on a boat for four months! Today we went to the San Diego zoo (Jessica if you are ready this I did take pictures of the panda for you) the science museum, and iMax movie of Mt. Everest, the mall, Old Town, a bar at the top of the hotel, basically we accomplished allot today.

The San Diego zoo is just amazing! I was just impressed by the sheer size of the whole place. I was also quite impressed with how close you could get to the animals. My cousin and I also met this interesting character in the zoo with some amazing and inspirational stories. Frankly, I didn't believe any of this guys stories because some of the things he said were just way too unbelievable, but I really did want to believe him because his stories were amazing. He talked about how he walked 400 miles (yes you heard me right 400) with his daughter to some Swahili tribe village and a warrior tried to buy his daughter with his herd, that he use to be a CEO of the biggest company in Seattle, and he was president of two other companies, his son has a PHD in acoustic engineering and a minor in electrical and mechanical engineering and he also married an olympic gold medalist. He said he was also in a 3 month coma where he was pronounced dead, and he was in a coma because he was watching his daughter have surgery and he fainted and hit his head against some art piece in the surgery room? You can see why I am a little skeptical, but still even if the story is not true, his story was really motivational. By the way, if you want to meet this character, his name is Carl and he is a volunteer at the zoo in the insect section.
