It was our Anniversary today (T and I, our 29th…)
We went for a drive… over to Half Moon Bay… a walk about town, stopping at the used book store (they got me for a couple….) the weird antique/junk shop with the broken glass… we love the joint… then the feed and seed… I needed food for the doves…
Then lunch… Our usual place is the Half Moon Bay Brewing Co… but today we went to MezaLuna… (http://mezzalunabythesea.com) It was a wonderful meal… mussels cooked to the consistency of liver… (If you don’t like liver you won’t understand how good…) I had sea food ravioli, she a pasta with mussels… wonderful…
Then north… across Devil’s Slide… through Pacifica, to San Francisco, and the Zoo… We are members… We get in free… Our first date was the zoo… back in early 1978.
We walked about, visiting the giraffes, zebras and gorillas… via the monkeys (primates) to the koalas, kangaroos then the bears… spectacled, polar and grizzly… A walk about the big cats, tigers and lions and previously bears… to the penguins and otters…
Simon and Garfunkel said it best….
The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
They're dumb. (of course we don’t have elephants any more)
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum. (Possibly but we didn’t see any evidence)
Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy, (I believe this but I believe pigeons as smart)
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! You gotta come and see
At the zoo
Its all about the song track of your life…
