Sunday we slept in late...around 10. We were burnt out from the garage sale. We ended up going down to
get our laundry caught up.
That took us till 2:30 and we went back upstairs, put away the clothes and took a nap. Around 5:30 we decided to run down to the beach for a piece of pizza at bobs. After dinner we walked the beach and stopped at two different places that had music playing. The first was a spanish guitar...mello and very beutiful sound. The second was a band much louder but very entertaining...It was a nice evening and a very laid back day.
Sunday.....to the zoo we go
We were scheduled to meet at the front gate of the Miami Zoo at 9:50AM so we left the condo at 8:30am.
Mapquest said it is a 1 hour drive so that should have been plenty of time. Should have been, If they took into account rush hour traffic. We got onto I-95 going south and as I was merging into traffic it was only going 30 MPH, I assumed it would pick up...mabye an accident up ahead or a police car on the side or some other distraction. 25 min and 5 miles later I was panic struck. 5 lanes southbound and stopped!
I asked Bonnie what she thought, and she responded we better make for the turnpike...I agreed. I got on the shoulder and made a few cool (almost TV cool) moves and I was off on a side road racing for the Zoo. I was pulling in at 9:52 when my phone rang. It was Bennie (used to work for me) asking where we were. I responded, Just pulling in, His sister works at the zoo and she had free tickets for us. We got in the zoo and here are some pictures

Sorry for all the pictures, But I loved the openness of this zoo and wanted to share it. Besides, I am just getting to the videos..I will only post a couple..
We didn't get done at the zoo till 5 in the afteroon. It was 7 miles around the park and by the time we got done evrybody was beat. We gave our profuse thanks and bolted for home, uknowingly into the evening rush hour traffic. We didn't get home till 7. watched the bachalor and bonnie passed out on the sofa.
So that was our past 2 days....untill tomorrow....PS....I was testing your knowledge on the animals.
haha...I like the "rare white squirrel(monkey)"...I think Gypsy is related to that tiger-he sounds exactly the same lol looks like you guys had fun...
ReplyDeleteMan, it looks like you had a great day, other than the traffic. You will learn when is the best time to go, even if you have to leave a little earlier to beat the traffic. Ya, you better go in there and retitle all your pics. That was a pretty good coverup for your mistake.....LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't know what your test was. It all seemed ok to me, excepr you forgot to name the stevelephanus. Those are extremely rare. only one known in existance.
