San Diego 300
An afternoon at the San Diego
Zoo gave us an opportunity to
witness the performance of three
trained seals who capered about
on the stage and ‘flapped their
flippers’ as though applauding
themselves. We learned that these
so-called ‘trained seals’ are sea
lions and not seals at all—or they'd
be unable to move about on land.
We were very much impreseed
by the division of the Zoo into
canyons and mesas so that each
animal could be housed in a space
which most closely resembled his
normal habitat. We saw no cages
for lions or bears, yet they were
penned in in such a way that
there was mo danger of escape.
We noted that the San Diego Zoo
had several animals which were
~ the only ones of their kind ever
born in captivity. Perhaps this
was because the parents had more
of a feeling of liberty in their
surroundings than most zoo ani-
mals.
A trip out across the silver
strand to Point Loma brought us
. face to face with the only light-
house I ever heard of that was
taken out: of service because it
was too high. We climbed to the
top where we could look down on
the Bay of San Diego, with its
tremendous moth ball fleet, the
Pacific Ocean, North Island Naval
Air Base, a tranquil National ceme-
tery, and the strand itself.
One evening we attended a sum-
mer theater-type production of
“Roberta” at Balboa Park Bowl.
Balboa Park was the site of the
San Diego Exposition. What fun
it was to sit under the stars and
hear such favorites as “Smoke Gets
In Your Eyes” coming across the
night air from the - well-lighted
stage. I'm sure if I lived in that
region it wouldn't be long before
I'd be trying to help with one of
these productions, for they looked
like such fun and were so well
directed that it would be a thrill
for any lover of dramatics to have |
a part in staging one.
Visit Mexico
One of the high spots of our |
trip was the short excursion we
made south "of the border to
Tijuana, Mexico. We had been
warned by many friends that
Tijuana was actually a rather dirty,
highly commercialized city which
made a good living on the Ameri-'

can tourists. However, we remained
steadfast in our determination to
go over and see for ourselves, and |
how glad we are that we did! As'
you enter the city you are of course
aware of the Mexican shop-keepers
and pedestrians who with the
tourists swarm all over the streets
and in the shops. Along the streets
are many men with highly painted
carts, patient burros, and huge
sombreros eager to perch you on
the poor stupid animals and take
your picture. They drape a serape
over your shoulders, perch a hat
on your head, and push the but-
ton. Presto—a picture for senor!
After we had walked away it oc-
curred to me to wonder how many
other people had worn the same
somberero!
I don’t suppose the two fellows
enjoyed it too much, but I had a
grand time wandering through the
shops and trying to buy beautiful
hand-tooled leather purses and
wallets, silver bracelets and rings,
and high priced perfumes for less
than the very reasonable prices
they were offered for. A purse
that would cost $18 on Alvera
Street in Los Angeles could be
purchased here for $8.. If you
talked to the fellow for a little
while, kept asking for something
just a bit different, and then start-
ed to walk away, he'd come down
on his price. Sometimes there

would be quite a difference—other
times not so much—but at least
there would be enough to make
you think you were getting a bar-
gain—and of course we bought.
