The visitors and us wrapped it up with a trip to Coronado Island and a day at Sea World. Also managed to go see a movie at the drive-in in Santee. The beach in Coronado is really nice but Sea World didn't leave me quite as impressed as I expected. The killer whale show Believe, with Shamu and his friends, was good though, although C was a bit annoyed by the religious undertones he sensed in it. The sting rays were pretty cool too. I also like the sea otters, the sharks and the manatees. The rides however were ... well, really crowded for one, and broken for another. I think my little niece was a little let down by that. On the other hand there is something of a rip-off going on in the park with for instance the selling of fry for 5 dollars to feed the sting rays. That makes about 1000 dollars a pound! Seems a bit out of proportion. And this after families had paid an entrance of $54 per person already. Guess they gotta make their money somehow ...I think our visitors were half glad to leave us finally, after more than ten days of relentless heat. They were not used to that. And neither are we. But we try to live with it.
