San Diego

Our flight leaves tonight back to Cambodia, but we stopped off on the East Coast to sightsee and visit some family. We drove down to San Diego and spent the day at the zoo. It was a beautiful balmy day and we enjoyed walking through the animal park. For dinner we met up with my aunt Jan (one of my dad's younger sisters) and her daughter Cathy and had an awesome meal. The food not only tasted great, it was beautifully displayed! Darith , the ship's cook, would have been amazed! ha! Jan had moved to San Diego in the 70's when her husband was in the Navy and ended up making this her home. After enjoying this weather, and seeing 33 degrees on our yahoo page for Arkansas, I can understand why she stayed! Rick was also able to talk with his aunt Jean whose husband was his father's brother via telephone. They relived memories of younger days. We will fly out late, so the next blog should be from Phnom Penh.
