It was here for two days, and then has disappeared again. I did have to work for one of those days, but Ben had it off so he got to sit in the sun and read. The second day we went to the zoo. This would be my second zoo within two weeks in two different countries. I love the zoo!

Ben got a bit overwhelmed with so many children running about, but with all of the animals out soaking up the summer sun, he got some great photos of orangutans swinging, tigers pacing, rhinos being rhinos and a baby giraffe.

I was excited to pet my first cow and pig, and love on some goats and sheep. Ben took a pass as he had enough of them growing up. I was just as excited with the sheep and pygmy goats as I was the sleepy Red Panda and other frisky monkeys. Ben may not be a big fan of children running around being noisy loud kids but he did promise me that someday he would love his own children even if they are as active as all those primates and big cat.
