Going to the Zoo
One of the best places to go, in my opinion, is the zoo. I thought that way as a child and my thinking has not changed. Every city I visit I must see the zoo.
Of all of the places to go in the zoos, of course the best was the “petting zoo”. They let you pet animals obviously, some were quite exotic, like the snake. I am sure it was a simple grass snake or a corn snake, but to me I had touched a cobra!
They had animals people could ride, camels, ponies, elephants.The elephant was of course the most amazing one, as I hadnt considered that elephants were hairy. Its much like a wire.
Of course then we got to pick a souvenir to take home, and my mother is still a fan of the gift shop to this day.
