The Adventures of Algorithm Girl

So Cal for a Bit

Went down to cities around LA this weekend with my dad and my sis! My dad had a business seminar to go to, so my sister and I went out while he was there. We ended up visiting the Santa Ana Zoo, since it was close by and we wanted to do something different other than shopping. My sister also had to do a photography assignment.

The Santa Ana Zoo is a cute, little zoo, mainly for families and kids. They had a lot of smaller animals there, like monkeys, lemurs, and birds. It was fun going around. I ended up taking a liking to Golden Lion Tamarins. They’re so cute with their bright orange fur! Emperor Tamarins are cute too; they look like wise monkeys with long mustaches. We also passed by these Silvery Langurs that we noticed were caring for a newborn!, the little orange furball that they’re holding. We also went into a netted area that you could enter with birds and other small animals roaming around. That’s where we saw these lovebirds. :] It was a fun experience. It’s not everyday that we get to see a variety of animals around  and I learned a bunch of small tidbits.

We then had dinner at Ichi Teriyaki Roll, a place I looked up on Yelp. I was trying to look for a Ramen House, but oh well, next time. It was a “hole-in-the-wall,” fast-food style Japanese restaurant.  Affordable, gave you a good amount of food.. The sushi easily fell apart though, when dipped in sauce. Overall good!

Sunday was pretty much spent travelling back. We did get to stop by at Roscoe’s for lunch though. We went to the one, smack dab in the middle of LA. Definitely a change of scenery. o_o I got a classic order of chicken and waffles. I hope I don’t offend anyone, but I thought it was okay, nothing too special though. I think maybe the place got a little too hyped up for me.. But I did get what I came for, I guess.
