5 BUCKS, 9 PEOPLE, 1 PHOTOBOOTH


Today starts of bright and early at 8:15 for me and 8:30 for Rico, Chen and Jackson. They weren't too fond of that. I still got them out of bed to Matthews B-1 but not by 9:15 am, so its only been about an hour and I've already lost money to Tiffany. Whatever I couldn't be sad today, it was zoo day! After a quick pitstop at the golden arches we got to the San Diego Zoo. We're rolling 9 deep to the zoo...how thug.
This guy has the job of looking over the most dangerous animals: People in cars. Good luck buddy, I hear they have to replace those guys every other week.
So after paying for our discounted tickets (thank you Jenny) we decided a quick bus tour should be first on the agenda. It was pretty fun, we got on the top deck, but the lady giving the tour was just pissy to me hardcore. I don't really want to bring it up again.
Chen is pretty damn excited, too bad, you should've seen him an hour ago, he looked like an extra on resident evil the movie. I don't blame him, everyone was pretty zombie-like in the morning. Except for the girls suite who were more angry than tired, sorry again.
Oh this is Ricardo again if you didn't remember.
Here goes the tour. Oh this is when Rico intimidated the bear. That's the look he gets when he usually meets someone new, he first scopes him out to decide whether or not he can punk them. I think Rico would've gotten the better of that Asian black bear.
Damn ever since i was a little kid I've loooved elephants, I don't know if they are favorite status, but they are preetttty high up there. I think these were friends.
First panda of the day, probably one of the largest in North America.
Jennifer is going to kill me, but I thought this summed up her happiness due to the zoo prettty well.
Chen has a love/fear relationship with snakes. Most of the venomous ones were missing or hiding...hmmmmmmmm I wonder where they got to?  No worries, I got Sam Jack on speed dial.
'No offense but if you need a seeing eye dog, why would you come to the zoo?' Always insightful Chen is.
After the bus tour and a little detour we took to the skies in the skyfari. 
So we walked a while for the polar bears and they were probably the most active and fun animal we saw all day. Here is the group photo with the original polar bears from Terminator 6:Antarctic Armeggedon.
During the tour Tour-essa promised us a wolf and a cheetah fighting to the death at Hunte's ampitheater at 2 o clock. We went in anticipation and we sorely denied such a fight. Still coool i guess, just not as cool as intensely fighting animals.
Polar bears are awesome and all but my heart is still with the asian panda bear. There was a line to see them but all the greatest attractions have lines. Chen, Jackson, and Rico decided gorillas were more worth their time.
This one just hung around in the tree sleeping, pretttty gangster until he fell. Just kidding Panda bears are totally graceful.
After we found Ricardo and the gang at the gorillas we were going to attemp our photobooth world record till Tiffany found a peacock she wanted to hug. Suprising as she doesn't really like hugs, weird huh?
9 people in one booth, what can i say other than: hernia, chronic back pain, disfigurement. It was worth it.
Tiffany smiles again. I bet it won't happen more than 6 more times this year, so really the endangered pandas weren't the rarest thing we saw today.
KOALLAS! I feel they are a great, and cute animal. I mean anything with a resemblance of Albert Einstein is sure to be great.
I feel I really capture the essence of Ricardo Tomayo Gonzalez III here. He's just geniunely happy to see the koallas and isn't really concentrating on anything else but what is around him.
Back to reality though, its still pretttyy early in the day, about 4:30. We get back to UCSD and with no suprise its total cloud cover overhead. All other places in SD are sunny but UCSD is cloudy....hmmm maybe the Fog is really coming true.
I think this is the POD just because Chen slept like a brick no matter what I did. I was swerving around trying to wake him up but it just didn't happen. He's not used to having to get up early on a weekend. Poor Chen. The rest of the day was kind of a blur but I will add that stuff next time. You all have aready had enough for the day, I'm going to have to cut you off.
