The lions and tigers are in London for two years because their house here is being remodelled. The paths are revamped but difficult to navigate – i gave in to the lady who wanted to give me a map at the end.\u00a0No sea lions, but the seals were out (i have shots of many animals, but am learning to post pics on the new blog, so please bear with me.)<\/p>\n
It’s really quiet there – the place is nice, but i get the sense that the heyday of the Zoo has passed by. Seems taken for granted now.<\/p>\n
Great to see the blue fish and a wet baby hippo, and some of the birds. Next time i go, i’ll visit the Rookery at Fullerton and the beautiful view of downtown from the bridge over the lagoon at the south end. And the Farm in the Zoo – a favorite place!<\/p>\n
My feet, and everything else, were sore enough, and by golly the characters on the Clark St. and Irving buses! We had to get off the Irving bus on the way there. The bus driver (who i knew) whispered to me ‘fire light went on’ – whoops, everybody off! \u00a0Long wait for all the buses, got to see Wrigley from Clark St.. Will go there again and get off at Addison and do a photo shoot.<\/p>\n
But i sure got my exercise on a beautiful late summer afternoon in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n
