San Diego Zoo
Everyone told us that we had to see San Diego's zoo and obviously, it belongs to the biggest worldwide. Still, I've never seen that many space-restricted and sad animals - what does a lion wanna tell when he keeps on rubbing his head against the wall? Or the tiger running in circles in his cage?
Therefore, we only took pictures of the not too depressed animals like the following ones... and the flowers of course (the zoo looks more like a botanical garden with some exotic inhabitants than a zoo...)

More of Highway # 1, part 2
The next day on the road. We had changed plans and decided to drive down to San Diego that evening.
Solvang, a Danish colony was on our way. I couldn't believe it until I saw it: all the buildings, all those people, even the sweets in the bakery - they were really Danish. If you removed all the big cars and the English, you could have imagined you were in some little Danish village.
In the afternoon, we paid a short visit to Santa Barbara (this cute old people's town by the sea) and drove through Malibu to the Getty Center (took some time till we found our way but finally...). Because of the fog and the rain, you couldn't see any house from up there but it was still preeeeetty sweet!

Highway # 1, part 2
Since we hadn't seen each other for really long, we took my friend Nora from SF back to her "home" LA. The way was long and the road was winding. But here's some incredible shots that were taken on day 1.
If you don't know if your car has a 4 wheel drive, don't drive in sand...

San Francisco, day 3
Luckily, we finally got tickets for the Alcatraz boat cruise on our last day in SF. I really enjoyed walking around on the prison island and was rather surprised that the audio tour was really interesting...
Afterwards we ran through SF MOMA which was free that day (the excuse for not staring too long at some not too exciting paintings... but there's some good exhibitions, too).
Bay Bridge and financial district
Alcatraz
Inside the cell building
Would I want to live here?
Clam chowder in sourdough bread (tastes way better than it looks...)
The hanging is the essential with cable cars...
