July 27

I enjoyed our further exploration of San Diego at the Zoo today. The animals all had a distinct grace that seemed to demonstrate the beauty of nature. From the soft-looking pads of the elephants to the howl of the singing dog, the characteristics of the animals were fascinating and will remain in my memory. My favorite experience at the Zoo was watching and hearing the New Guinea singing dog howl in response to the crowd's howling. I admit I was howling too. The bonocos were the only monkeys whose names I can remember. The gorillas had a very sophiscated and formal look to them. One silverback was sitting with his legs folded and his back straight while looking at his nails and peering around. Basketball was fun this morning when I got to play with a smaller group. The visit to the beach will be very relaxing, because I crave floating in the cool Pacific water.
