Zoo!

We went to the zoo today. I haven't been to any zoo in several years, so it was nice to have a look around. Particularly given the nice weather.

We were lucky enough to see the seals being trained, and I got some photos.

The flamingos were not fenced off, so we were able to walk right past them and get close to them. There were a good 20 or 30 of them right near the entrance. There were even some baby ones, but annoyingly the photos I took were blurred. On the plus side, I was able to get a few good photos of the flamingos themselves. So here's one:

The penguin pool was also impressive. They had a cute little slide that they ran down. This one came right up close to us near the plastic barrier.

The zoo was awesome. As always in zoos, the food and souvenirs were ridiculously overpriced. Of course, the logic behind that is wanting to raise as much money as possible while remaining open to as many people as possible (thus requiring a low price). Even so, it makes it significantly more desirable to bring your own food.
