Houston Zoo

NOTE TO SELF: Never, ever, EVER go to the Houston Zoo during Spring Break. Worst Idea ever. Regardless, baby elephants are the cutest things on Earth.

Muir Woods

We made the trek out to Muir Woods on the first day of the torrential storm that hit the west coast in December. Maybe not brilliant (as we were soaking) but it was so cool to see these Red Woods - some of which are nearly 1000 years old.

Helen In The Backseat

H took some photos that encapsulated three significant moments:

1) the first time the three of us (Tom, Eby, Helen) were together since we lived together in Spain four years ago
2) crossing Golden Gate bridge
3) the first time I drove in 18 months (on a wet, cold day in San Francisco - probably not the best place to re-get my training wheels)

Don't worry, we survived.

SFMOMA, Part 3 (B+W)

Two of my bestest friends in the whole wide world in one art museum. And they don't mind having their picture made. A girl don't get much luckier.

Sambo

Elma, my CouchSurfing host, is good friends with Sambo a 60-year-old elephant and survivor of the Khmer Rouge. Twice a week, Elma brings baskets full of fruit to Sambo's owner. Their story is pretty miraculous. As a 10-year-old boy, her owner used to sneak into the forest and feed Sambo. In the mid-1970s, Cambodians could barely feed themselves, let alone a two ton animal, but he did. Years passed and he didn't see her. Then 20 years later he found her wandering around outside the city somewhere. They've been together ever since. Yay happy tears!

I fed Sambo, I kid you not - 200 bananas.
