Zoo Station

This post is dedicated to Laurie who kept urging me to see the zoo. I imagined it was because she read how impressive the grounds are and how innovative the lay-out is. In actuality, I suspect it has something to do with the overwhelming numbers of babies in strollers.

In any case, the zoo was quite remarkable; you can really get quite close to some of the animals. A particular highlight was the penguin exhibit where one friendly Humboldt penguin came right up to me and posed for pictures.
