Spent the day at the San Diego Zoo with Mary and Diana. Was hoping to see the baby giraffe being born since the mom is two weeks overdue. Didn’t happen, but I did see the week-old baby Capybara, the first baby born at Elephant Odyssey. Also watched a baby Nubian Gazelle being bottle fed.

Took my mom and the Onellions over to Casa de Reyes in Old Town for dinner. Great food and great waitress. She sounded exactly like Sofia Vergara. Cute, too.

Spent most of the day at the San Diego Zoo with Heather. Bahati, a very pregnant 19-year old giraffe, is about to get give birth any day now. She’s almost a week overdue. We were hoping it would be today.
