I rode this 5-minute tram ride - a nice aerial view of the zoo.

I spent only 1-1/2 hours at the zoo and could not see everything. 
I wanted to see the Panda Exhibit, but there was a 45-minute wait!

Caught the #7 bus back to Downtown San Diego and then the #30 bus to La Jolla.

Arrived in La Jolla about 5:00 p.m. and checked into the La Jolla Beach Travelodge
