goin' to the zoo

Unfortunately, I don't have endless fjord photos because bad luck struck and my first flight to Paris was delayed just enough that I wouldn't catch my flight to Norway on Wednesday... so I never left. When you live where we do and are traveling to where I was going, that means you're buying 4 one-way tickets. It ended up being the most expensive trip I didn't take. Mark hopped an earlier flight back and we took a very impromptu trip to the zoo on Saturday afternoon.

After pulling up to the entrance and parking in a dirt parking lot, we weren't really sure what to expect, but we were really impressed! The elephants were temporarily unavailable, but the giraffes made it all worth it. And we got some pretty great entertainment from the baboons. In the US, it seems like there are always zookeepers and trainers everywhere... not in France! We didn't see anyone until we made it to the seals and they were being fed. Another visit to cross of the "to do" list!
