Week 11

Meet the Cheetah

We went to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (formerly San Diego Wild Animal Park) today, thinking that with the windy and rainy
weather it wouldn't be so crowded. We were certainly right. I've never seen so few people there. However, what we didn't know
is that the weather also caused lots of events to be cancelled. No bird flight show (too windy, the birds would have been blown
out of the amphitheater, no cheetah run (too soggy, the cheetah would have hydroplaned). Instead, they had some close
animal encounters in the enclosed Hunte Pavillon, including one with the cheetah.
