Audubon Zoo Part 2
We made it to the Zoo in one piece. That’s always a plus. I sorta pray the entire way across the Causeway bridge. Lol. I’ve read way too many headlines about people driving off the side of it. There’s nowhere to go but in the water, incase you didn’t know that tidbit.
The weather was absolutely beautiful. My kids and their cousins had a blast. It was so great being outside before the intense heat and humidity cranks up here in New Orleans. The animals seem to be doing okay. It was sad to see the losses of some of the favorites since the huricane. The zoo lost both camels and the hippo. Wahhh.
The one downside to the day was the wait for lunch. Oh my goodness ! One of the problems that everyone has had around here since Katrina has been trying to find "help". No one wants to work. My sister and I stood in line for one hour to get lunch. They had 3 workers in the Cafe. ugh. It’s not like we could have gone anywhere else, either. There is nothing else open at the Zoo that serves food. McDonalds closed with Katrina. Live and learn. Next time, there will be a picnic lunch.
I had no idea that the Zoo would be as crazy packed as it was. Holy moly. There were some major tour buses there. Lots of school buses, too. I’m glad to see the business returning to the city, but I sure would have liked it better if they had all gone tomorrow. lol.
I’m worn out. I walked for 5 hours today. Not the best cardio workout, but at least it was something. I’m ready to sit for a while. If I had Tv (insert ugly words here) I would be watching Survivor. Maybe next week.
I hope you all had a nice, warm, family-filled day as well.
Peace out.
