We chatted a bit at their home.
Mary K showed us where she goes to work on her art. She's had a couple of shows in Eureka lately.
Our next stop was the Clarke Memorial Museum. The customer service was awesome. They saw us looking at the steps and came out to show us a side entrance with a ramp. They were great at answering our questions.

It was lunch time when we left the museum. We opted for a picnic in Sequoia Park.
The next natural stop was the Sequoia ZOO! Stacia hadn't been to an American zoo since she was old enough to remember. This is a smallish zoo - but very easy to do and we loved it. Stacia's favorites were the monkeys.

Do you see Stacia below? She's inside a tube in the middle of an aquarium. VERY COOL - and slightly freaky.

John said he wanted a photo with me in it - and so Michael took one

We FINALLY found our retirement flamingos. . . not in FL like we'd hoped. . . but we found them.
Daniel - a HUGE cow temporarily lives at the zoo. He is 6 foot 4 inches! His owners are looking for a new home for him. They raised him on a bottle. They SERIOUSLY are checking and it appears this cow may break a few records.

It was a great day. We didn't stay for Arts Alive, as we needed to drive the couple of hours back, have dinner and prepare for an early Sunday morning.....and CoRielle are coming to town to see us.
