After leaving the Zoo<\/a> I thought it would be fun to make a quick visit to the Natural History Museum<\/a> in Balboa Park<\/a>, next door to the Zoo. Walking first through Spanish Village<\/a>, I stopped at The Village Grill<\/a> for a spot of lunch. Had my regular tuna melt combo with chips and a drink. Considering it looks to be kind of a dive, their tuna melt is actually very good. And $8 for a combo is not a bad deal, especially in a tourist location. After feeding myself and a flock of starving swallows I began my limited visit at the museum. I basically went in, talked to a cute girl who works there, sat and watched \u00a0“Ocean Oasis: Two Worlds, One Paradise<\/a>” in their theater, talked on the phone for a little while and then left. The movie was very good, if a seeming a little long. Will have to go back to see two other movies, both in 3D. Good thing I have a pass there too.<\/p>\n
