It’s wonderful! I arrived here Thursday and we im ly took off for a holiday in what Los Angeles calls the Southland. We spent three days in San Diego and two on the High Desert. They were so packed with things I had wanted to know it now. We saw the Koala bears high up in their eucalyptus grove. It’s true they aren’t true bears. They were so still they seemed more like little mummies than real live animals. We also saw lots of true bears including a beautiful pair of Polar Bears. Their Arctic setting is partially refrigerated though it is open to the atmosphere around it. I loved Animal Park. You ride a tram around an entire valley. In this valley roam, in separated groups, prides of lions, whatever CLASSIFIED ADS —_~r we & Services, 10. Crafts assists — OPTOMETRIST planning distant members of the family throughout my visit and for them the rest of this year. It’s wonderful! I hope you will enjoy some stories of the things we did. We spent the first three days at the Hotel Del Coronado. For you history buffs this is pure enchantment. We lived in the luxurious new: wing where our patio opened almost onto the ocean. We dined in the historic Coronet Room with the world . famous chandeliers designed like enormous crowns. The hotel was built in 1887 by Elisha Babcock and H. L. Story of Chicago and designed by architects James and Reed also from the east. There is a gorgeous crystal chandelier in the lobby but I missed its history. The Del’s State Landmark Plaque reads ‘“‘ Victorian Hotel, built in 1887, is one of ica’s largest wooden buildings. Few seaside. resort hotels of this significant architectural style remain in America. The hotel has hosted several presidents and other national figures.” The ceiling in the ballroom is 31 feet high. The hotel was in its festive Christmas dress for us which increased its candle lighted beauty. To reach The Del you cross a bit of modern history. The San Diego Coronado Bridge. It is 2.2 miles long and curves out in the middle. of itself to reach the island of Coronado. From its apogee looking out toward the Pacific you can see The Del which resembles an old time Castle with all its “turrets, tall cupolas, hand-carved wooden pillars, and Victorian gingerbread’’. We also saw the bridge from the Point Loma Lighthouse. We went there to see the historic old — lighthouse and the migration of the gray whales. ‘Nary a whale in sight but Cabrillo National Monument is worth a second look any time. They have restored old Captain Israels quarters in the Old Lighthouse beautifully. The delightul old kitchen garden has also been restored. The old lighthouse was built in 1854. Capt. Israel beautiful, botannically, than the zoos. The sea life is presented in a series of shows in various buildings and ampitheaters. We_petted and yes TALKED to Dolphins, we watched Pearl divers in the Japanese Gardens. We petted walrus with new babies which we were not allowed to pet. We saw dolphins and whales do absolutely unbelievable things on command from their trainers. We saw parades of penguins. The trainer said after four years they had finally learned to walk in a'line on one door and out the other. He had seals that did almost everything. It’s a very worthwhile experience. The real climax to our little Christmas vacation was our trip to the High Desert. We stayed overnight in Twenty Nine Palms where my aunt owns property. It was clear cold and gorgeous. It was a perfect setting for the Heavenly Miracle and gave mea feeling of great reverence. We were brought roughly. back to earth by a bit of car trouble and the need to replace the fuel pump. It was easy. On our way home, just out of Palm Springs, we had another grand adventure. We took the Aerial Tramway to the top of Mt. San Jacinto. You start at about sea level and reach 8500 feet in 13 minutes. Sixty-eight people in a glass enclosed (it was said to hold 80) stood car which went almost straight up the mountain side. There were 5 ‘supports’ (sorry, I’m sure r on the way up. Between name) there is a bette ‘supports’ it-was pure fun.
