On our recent visit to New York, we joined our daughter and son in law at the Bronx Zoo. The weather forecast was for rain, but since they are zoo members and there was no cost involved, we decided to risk the bad weather. As it turned out it did not rain and the clouds kept what could have been a hot July day comfortable. We only spent two hours in the park but still got to see lots of animals. We spent some time with the giraffes, okapi, flamingos, sea lions, red pandas (always sleeping), bison, rhinos, water birds and tigers. But my favorites are always the gorillas. They don’t move around much, but they are so fascinating to watch. We left the park around lunch time, which was just as well since their food prices are kind of outrageous. But I know there is so much more to see and do, and I can’t wait to go back.
