ok hope this goes better. last one, the pics didnt upload.
here we go.

monday, i took a trip to the zoo, pismo beach, san luis obispo and the hearst castle. it was a much needed break because i have been working a lot and had so much going on in my everyday life. trip took 3 days and 2 nights, stayed at the quality suites which the rate was 170$ but being an employee, i got in for 55$ a night. not too bad. the hotel was awesome. but thats all boring stuff, so brace yourselves, cause here come the pics.

LA ZOO

i can watch these prairie dogs all day.

made a new friend. think she liked me better then my girlfriend. hehehe

chinese gator

american gator.

cassowary. an awesome bird that wouldnt stay put for a decent pic. he took a poop and started eating it. recycling? haha

the mighty komodo dragon.

i love the lions.

this chimp was pondering on something with passion. haha.

you calling me fat chump?!?!

i could not get a decent pic of the tiger they had. its the sumatran thats not even an year old yet. man... i was mad.

and now for the herps.

copperhead

curtus

HOTS

this gtp looked like it had a case of R.I.

and the reason why all of us are here,

pismo beach, san luis obispo and hearst castle

i want to retire here... awesome view from the pier.

my beautiful girl posing for a beautiful pic

this was a nice place. it was next to the mission de tolosa in san luis.

hearst castle. past home of the newpaper tycoon william randolph hearst. if only i had the money, i would build one just like it. haha.

this is the view from the first balcony.

the neptune pool.

front of casa grande, the main living quarters of w.r. hearst.

indoor romanized pool. i have never wanted to go swimming so much... haha.

good food, beautiful views, and awesome food. haha. the food was that good. if you are ever in the pismo area, check out splash cafe and mo's bbq. great food.

well, hope that wasnt too boring. you guys still awake? ahaha. the weather was really bad and windy most of the time so the pics are not all that great.
enjoy nonetheless.

Great pictures! I like the reptiles and the cassowary the best. Cassowaries are hard core birds... extremely dangerous when they get aggressive.

thanks everyone. as far as swimming in the pools, the tour guide told me only employees get to swim in the outdoor pool only and not the indoor pool. so everyone go get a job there!! haha.

stang! post them tiger pics!!!
