Cousin Arlene Shuster and I visited the wild animal park during my recent trip to San Diego and the Lorkeets gave me a surprise as they landed on my hand, arm, and shoulders while I fed them. This is a gorgeous park, the foliage and gardens are beautiful and I enjoyed watching the animals and waterfowl in re-created natural habitat. Sunny warm weather greeted us every day, we wore shorts and sandals summertime in October. Tomorrow I fly back to Alaska where winter is on the way. Good bye old friends and family, it was nice to see all of you again!
