Dublin Zoo

First of all I want to apologize to everyone for my long silence. I am a bad friend and I apologize. But I have been way busy. I have a zillion pictures to post and it will take a bunch of posts so bear with me as this will come in installments. First off I went to the Dublin Zoo which was really fun. These are the gorillas obviously, they were really cool. I think the dad was in a bad mood though, but can you blame him?
I took a whole bunch of pictures at the zoo. I won't bore you with putting all of them up. Just a few of the cutest. These are red pandas. Now I am sure that they are not really as tame as they look, but don't you just want to take one home to be a live teddy bear?

And of course I have to put up the picture of the otter for Andrea. I spent a good twenty minutes or so trying to get decent pictures of these guys. They are really fast when they want to be.

We saw some wolves as well but they were definitely not up for having their pictures taken. They were hiding where you could see them kind of but not get a decent picture, though to their credit they did have a fantastic vantage point to keep an eye on us. On the other hand, the tiger seemed just fine with being photographed, as long as we did not disturb his nap.

All in all a pretty cool day at the zoo. It is in Phoenix Park, which is this totally huge park here in Dublin, like thousands of acres huge and the Dublin Zoo is one of the oldest in the world. You could definitely tell it was an older zoo. Especially the central park with it's old school tiny buildings named after people who donated them and not the animals inside. Had a good day. More will be posted soon - Kilarney and Paris are on the way.
