Nate and I seem to have developed the tradition that the last day we have together we fill with fun activities. I think it keeps us from being sad, and its working. Yesterday we went to the San Diego zoo. It was awesome, all the animals were what you would expect, but the MONKEYS. Oh my. I completely fell in LOVE with the monkeys. They were amazing. There is a chimp family and they came right up to the window and spent an hour just hanging out. The baby chimp kept coming up and smacking himself against the window and then running across the glass giving everyone high fives. They were so human it was incredible to watch. I made Nate spend an hour just watching the monkeys with me.
Then we went on a boat tour around San Diego harbor. It was pretty neat, we got to watch the sunset and have a very productive last day together. It ended with the most amazing Mexican food Old Town has to offer, a good way to say goodbye to a wonderful summer in San Diego.
He'll be back in New York sometime in October and another chapter will start. It's sad to see the summer end. I don't think I'll ever master the art of saying goodbye elegantly. Now to final exams for yoga, wrapping up the summer, seeing people I haven't got to see, and beginning the monstrous task of moving back to new york and into a new apartment- all on my own!
