Sometimes, France is pretty adorable.
October 22, 2006
Yesterday after the catacombes (which were bizarre and totally creepy) we headed to the zoo at the Jardin Des Plantes. It was probably the cutest day of my life. I seem to have a deep fondess for zoos. I can’t really explain it. The animals that they had were pretty random. They literally had like ten species of owl. I think Heather calculated that since our ticket was 5 Euros, that is 50 cents per owl. They also had things like yaks, 15 guinea pigs, some racoons, several species of vulture, and some pretty sweet monkeys. I won’t go into detail about what we witnessed the monkeys doing…
After the zoo, we FINALLY went to a cafe and sat outside and had a cafe on the sidewalk. I never really knew that French people ACTUALLY did this. But they do frequently. It was pretty adorable as well and I’m so glad we finally did it. After this, we were bold enough to take the bus in Paris, also a new experience. We have pretty much got the metro down, but the bus was uncharted territory. We did it succesfully though.
I can’t get my camera to upload for whatever reason, and its about full. I’m not really sure what to do about this. If anyone that happens to read this has any ideas, please tell me! I really need to upload before I leave for our tour of France on Wednesday!
