Oh well, it was fun while it lasted&#8230;<br \/>\nYesterday we spent our last day at a really big mall called Perisur. Denise had me take this picture of her. I didn&#8217;t see what was funny, but she couldn&#8217;t stop giggling:<br \/>\n<%image(20090513-peri09web.jpg|336|448|Fantasy Princess??)%><br \/>\nIt was fun, but basically malls are the same to me around the world. Although, this one did have a Nissan dealership inside the mall (a store front with 4 cars on display).  You don&#8217;t see too many car dealerships inside a mall.<br \/>\nAfter that we went to Cuicuilco, the site of an ancient civilization that dates as far back as 800 BC. It was destroyed around 100 BC by a volcano that buried the city. It is an interesting pyramid in that it is round instead of square.<br \/>\nWhat you see here is only half of the pyramid (the rest is buried in the lava bed):<br \/>\n<%image(20090513-cuil09web.jpg|448|336|Cuicuilco)%><br \/>\nAfter that we went to another mall, got some snacks and flew home.<\/p>\n<p>Today was my birthday. We went to Disneyland. The current promotion is that you get in free on your birthday, but I already have an annual pass so I got a gift card that was worth $69. I used it to buy some Disney books I have always wanted but never was able to get. If you&#8217;re curious,  the books were <b>The Disney Encyclopedia<\/b>, <b>Walt Disney Quotes<\/b>, and the first issue of the <b>D23 magazine<\/b>. It was a good deal and I was able to get an extra 10% off with my Disney Visa card. Other than window shop we didn&#8217;t do much. An advantage of having a pass is that you can go as slow as you want and not have to worry about &#8220;&#8221;seeing it all&#8221;&#8221; or &#8220;&#8221;if you got the value of your ticket&#8221;&#8221;, because if you miss something you will just be back another day. <br \/>\n<%image(20090513-dlbirth09web.jpg|448|336|Hello Dale!)%><br \/>\nAfter going to Disneyland we went to two Sushi houses. The first one was in Anaheim and was a bit too expensive for our budget (yelp said they were $ but it was more like $$$), so we left and went to our standby place of <a href=\"\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/miyagi-sushi-san-bernardino\"\">Miyagi Sushi <\/a>in San Bernardino. <br \/>\n&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, the bill collectors say yes.
