A Day at the Zoo

We decided to go to the local zoo today. It was so hot we only stayed about an hour but we saw some very interesting things. The panda's were so cute and were playing around with their bamboo. Then we saw something I have never seen nor will ever see again and that's common house cats caged at the zoo. I had to take a photo so everyone would believe me!! We also saw puppies, wolfs, raccoons (which they called raccoon dogs??) turkeys and seagulls. They had your everyday animals such as lions, tigers, and bears but oh my....some of the animals were on the bizarre side.

We have one and a half more days in this city then go on to the final leg of the race. Only 7 more days till we come home. We are really going to have to watch how much time Blair spends outside on hot days. Not only do we need to worry about her skin but she's a little hot box and gets really hot really fast. She's not quite sure what to think about all the outings. She had never been out of the orphanage other than to play on the playground there. For the most part she's adjusting well. She seems a little sad at times and does not want to speak in any language. But she does smile at us a lot so that's a good sign. She also won't go to anyone but Ellen or I so we are getting somewhere!
