Vegan Drive-Thru Restaurant

We stopped back at the hotel, where Shel posted the fourth set of our pictures to the web, before heading out for lunch. We tried to go to Veg-N-Out, but they stopped serving lunch at 3pm and didn't start serving dinner until 5pm. We walked through Balboa Park, looking for a way to another restaurant on 5th Avenue. We walked around the San Diego Zoo for a little while. That's around the zoo, not the through the zoo. We needed to walk around the perimeter in order to reach a path that could get us to 5th Avenue. Tickets are $22 a piece, and even though my anti-Semitic San Diegan friend likes the San Diego Zoo, it would have been cheaper to catch a cab than to walk through the zoo. (Marc, the aforementioned friend, has many Jewish friends, but one day, intending to say he didn't like zoos, said he 'didn't like Jews.')

We got to the restaurant, Kung Food Express, and had a terrific meal at the first vegan restaurant with a drive-thru we had ever seen. We got the 'Chicken' Parmesan, pumpkin stew, essential greens, herbed mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy, soyrizo, and a delicious blondie. We even split a Blue Sky Cherry Vanilla Organic soda. The food was served buffet style. We started off with two plates but ended up going back for a delicious third. Mmmmm, tasty vegan drive-thru restaurant food. Yum!!!

After catching the #3 bus back to the hotel, we relaxed and prepared for the second leg of our vacation. Tomorrow, we catch a Greyhound Bus to Tijuana, and then catch a plane to Puebla, Mexico!
