We went to a Japanese deer park. David Wayne fed deer. He held a pigeon on his arm. We bought a Buddha bank and some fortune cookies.
Next we drove to Knott's Berry Farm. We went through several shops. David Wayne rode antique cars. We watched seals and we saw an organ grinder monkey - David Wayne got to give him a penny. We bought a covered wagon bank and a "thimble" jigger. Had a _good_ day!
Here are scans of the flyer for the Japanese Deer Park, plus our tickets with the date stamped on them.
I guess the previous day's animal attacks at Jungleland didn't make me too afraid of wild animals, since I fed the deer today. I don't remember going here, but I do remember the Buddha bank. You may notice the Deer Park tickets mention Movieland Wax Museum and Palace of Living Art. I do have flyers from both of them, so we probably visited those later.
According to the interwebs, Deer Park was only open from 1967 to 1975. Sadly, about 200 deer had to be euthanized when tuberculosis was discovered among the herd.
Hey, another trip to Knott's Berry Farm. That place must have been inexpensive and huge for us to make so many trips there. Here is a picture of me with the organ grinder monkey, which some of you have already seen because I posted it on Facebook this morning with the caption: "Fifty years ago today, a man let me touch his monkey."
The two banks added today brings the total up to six.
