Houston Zoo

Today B and I went to Houston Zoo, which compared to Honolulu Zoo is spectacular. If I had to rate it out of 10 it would probably get a 7 out of 10. It has been done up since the last time I was there about 6 years ago. We got lost trying to find it as the location it is in has changed over the past couple of years. They had 2 baby elephants, which were so cute (pics will be added later); they started playing with each other, which was so adorable.

They have this new African Safari section, which literally only had 3 animals! Three animals in the entire African part... the elephants were nowhere near that part. They had 2 monkeys, a handful of giraffes, and 3 rhinos. It was a complete let down.. they have huge billboards all the way to downtown Houston saying "Visit the African Safari", something along those lines; then you get there and Oh so boring!

The reptile house was pretty good. I do love looking at snakes! They had so many different kinds, mostly from the desert in America, but some from Africa and Asia. They had a huge albino alligator, which was pretty to look at it. It didn't move though which was a bit disappointing, but not completely unexpected.

After 2.5 hours at the Zoo it was time to leave. My feet were killing me. We went and had a very nice lunch... as opposed to the day before at the really crappy restaurant in Austin.
