Future Field Trip? The San Diego C&SS Show & Sale

June 3-4 weekend took us to La Jolla. Bill had a class to take and so we decided to visit the soon to be wed younger McDonalds. I tagged along to the zoo with two anthropologists and of course spent our time in the primate section. There we were treated to viewing an active gorilla troop, with two baby boys, just born in March. The flamingoes were building their mud nests and there was much carrying on among them!

Then we went to lunch at the Prado cafe and while walking I noticed a woman with a box of succulents. She was coming from the San Diego C&SS annual spring sale. It was a beautiful show and there were many plants and pots for sale. Woody and I nearly crashed into one another. Kristin and her friend Lorena enjoyed it too. Lorena bought a small plant or two that she could take back to San Antonio with her on the plane, after running in the Rock and Roll marathon. It was a very warm weekend on California's south coast. The SDC&SS show is well worth a visit, even a serendipitous one.
