Christmas Eve Breakfast And Tour Preparations (Page Two)
We drove down Katella about 9.6 miles with zero traffic arriving at the Rainforest Cafe at 10:00. We ordered a little liquid libation and awaited the arrival of Marianne and Craig and the Duda's.
We Started At The Rainforest Cafe
It was a magnificent day... Blue skies and a chilly 54+ degrees
The animals await us!
We just checked the menu to see if anything changed!

It's OK Bob... The animals are not real!

"Safe!"
"It's not real..... Is it?"
Did You Know? - The word "gorilla" comes from the history of Hanno the Navigator, a Carthaginian explorer who encountered "a savage people, the greater part of whom were women, whose bodies were hairy, and who our interpreters called Gorillae"

Yellow Poinsettias?
Did You Know? - The colored bracts—which are most often flaming red but can be orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled—are often mistaken for flower petals because of their groupings and colors, but are actually leaves. The colors of the bracts are created through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at a time for at least five days in a row) to change color. At the same time, the plants require abundant light during the day for the brightest color.
