To get home from the law school we take the 43 bus. The bus stop is next to a 10 foot wall covered in vines. On the other side of the wall a tall wooden structure is visible. On Thursday discovered that we live a 2 minute bus ride from the abode of three giraffes. These giraffes live as part of the Safari Park which happens to be about three minutes from our apartment. On Thursday we went to the Safari Park. We saw beautiful birds, monkeys, chickens, elephants, penguins, zebras, donkeys, tigers, deer, raccoons, peacocks and fish.
After being dragged through the maze of animal cages by a very, very reluctant horse, we climbed and slid on raised platforms over tigers, lions and bears, oh my. In fact, we fed the lions raw chicken on a stick, held baby tigers, and bobbed apples with the huge bears.
In a small part of the swan lake huge plastic tubes floated in the water, calling to us to figure out what they were. A man explained to us that we had to climb in and he would push them out in the water, then we tried to run in them. Basically they were huge hamster balls, but in water. They were so much fun!
