Awesome. I love the flamingos at the San Diego Zoo. Do you know that flamingos in the wild get their bright pink color from eating shrimp? Shrimp are too expensive to feed the flamingos at the zoo, so they add food coloring to their food! Insane.
Remember that the Zoo is free for all children all October, and also, Museums at Balboa Park take turns giving out free tickets on Tuesdays.
Thank you for taking the time to highlight our beautiful County. San Diego is not just bordered by Mexico - it once was a part of Mexico, so lots of the "Mexican People" who you see on our streets, well, we are really just Native Americans who were hopped by the border and stood still.
Remember to get some tortillas while at old town, some of the fresh made ones, and if you venture south to Chula Vista, be sure to go to the Nature Interpretive Center (which may now be called the Chula Vista Aquatic center) and is a safe house for original creatures who have been here since before we started measuring time.
