Uncle Bob came from France to visit Barbara. We took him to The Wild Animal Park to see if his tush would fall off after walking 4+ miles. It didn’t, but mine should have. It was Barbara’s fault. She walks every day and I don’t. However, a good time was had by all.

Since he was still ambulatory we took him to Balboa Park to The Mingei Museum and The Japanese Friendship Garden. Here is the proof:
