San Diego

As most of you know, I spent last weekend in San Diego. My primary purpose for being there was to attend the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) conference on gender relations on Christian college campuses. There were some very interesting conversations that took place. You can go to www.cccu.org if you're interested in learning more about what took place at the conference. The conference was hosted by Point Loma Nazarene University which sits on a hill overlooking the ocean. It was really beautiful.

But, what all of you really want to know about is my trip to the zoo. If you like zoos, and you haven't been to the San Diego Zoo, you're missing out! It was awesome. They have just about every kind of animal you can imagine. My favorites are the large apes (they had baby gorillas...so cute!), any kind of cat (especially the small wild cats that look like Oscar and Cassie; it's just funny to think about how they could probably rip me apart), polar bears, meercats (a mom and babies), and on this trip, the hummingbird aviary. Here are some photos of my favorites:

I don't know if the whole animal-tearing-you-apart thing is that funny but I do like monkeys and wildcats. Glad you had fun and jealous you saw the Pacific Ocean.

So fun! Glad you had a good time. I think the monkeys probably could give their own take on gender relations.... :)
