SeaWorld San Diego















We went to SeaWorld today which is one of those all american theme park chains operated by the beer people. There was only one beer shop on the park and the focus is on presenting professional shows with sea animals - its kind of like a circus and a zoo and Disney schmuck all rolled together. Sounds like a potentially terrible confection but in fact it works beautifully for all ages - especially the dolphins and the killer whales - Shamu rocks. We enjoyed it so much we didn't leave until 10pm for the hours drive home which included missing our interstate junction and an interesting diversion among the auto dealers. Best car today a bright red 30's hot rod cruising down the motorway top down. Best sight - Shamu playing an electric guitar....only joking we went to see Shamu twice. No national anthem today but a loud cheer and round of applause for all members of the armed forces in the audience past and present (10percent plus?) Quite right too. Gratuitous video of Shamu and trainer may work who knows.
