Halloween was really fun. People make a big deal out of it over here - lots of houses had creepy decorations in their front gardens and lots of kids were out trick-or-treating last night in their cute costumes. But it's not just for kids - I saw plenty of adults dressed up yesterday, including a woman on the Metro dressed in a bloodied wedding gown. On Saturday night, we went to a few Halloween house parties. Paul went as an anti-capitalism protester and I went as the person who got injured when he threw his brick through Starbucks window, complete with fake blood and black eye. No photos, as I looked pretty awful, but not as awful as I looked and felt the next day after drinking a bad mixture of vodka and tequila ;) Costumes and hangovers aside, it was a really fun Halloween weekend, topped off with a couple of scary movies last night involving nuclear wars and demented dolls.
San Diego last week was a lot of fun. I took so many photos of the zoo, park and around the city so I won't post them all as they are all on my Facebook already, so here's some of the highlights.
Puma - just a big kitty cat really...
What come's out the elephant's back sides...
...Is loved by the dung beetles!
Capybara - my favourite animals
Polar bear enjoying lunch
...And so is this panda
The beautiful orang-utans
My favourite 'alien' cacti! I've found the same ones on my every visit to Balboa Park :D :D
Hillcrest - such a cool neighbourhood
Gaslamp Quarter in the heart of San Diego
