Today we’ve been working like crazy. After a 5 mile morning run along side San Diego Bay, we took a guided tour of the city and spent the entire afternoon visiting the city’s famous zoo, shaking hands with gorillas, counting the humps of camels and marveling at the roughly-stitched mantels of hippos. Around mid afternoon, we were on our knees and were ready for a medical evacuation via rickshaw, pickup truck, ambulance or helicopter. A few ice-cream and drinks later we were ready to go, and completed the visit. When we drove back to the hotel, we were begging for a hot bath and for some well-deserved rest. After working close to 40 years in the leisure industry, I’m realizing for the first time that being a tourist is truly a lot of work!
