More Zoo!

The train was very popular. It was filled with families all day long!

This is NOT the zoom lens!!! The Cheetah took a leap upon the ledge of his enclosure. I would have had to lean over to touch the fence, but Gene could have easily petted him as he strolled by. Everything is so close! We couldn't believe we were THIS CLOSE to a cheetah!










Good looking Antlers! This enclosure was not labeled so I'm not so sure what this guy is but we really liked this photo.










This guy was throwing peanuts to the elephant. Some peanuts landed inside the enclosure and some landed outside. No problem, those trunks can pick up anything!

I especially like the wall behind this leggy giraffe!

This little Lemur was so cute I wanted to take him home in my pocket!















Some of these Mountain Goats were eating leaves that people were sticking through the fence. This guy was uninterested and was just sitting in the sun.

The Kuwait Zoo is Awesome!

These lions were sleepy. Look at the size of those paws!

We went to the zoo yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day; the warmest day so far. The zoo was a little different from back home, the biggest difference being the people FEED THE ANIMALS EVERYTHING!!! Seriously, they were feeding baboons apples, bananas, peanuts, and yes, even potato chips!! There are do not feed the animals signs scattered about, but no enforcement.

Here is a look at the baboons.

This one's for Dad --everyone can look, too:-)

This is the entrance to a traditional Kuwait home, built in 1936. It houses a weaving museum.

We both got a good laugh when we left and said "Dad would say this door is made for a guy my size, not a guy Gene's size"

Just one more Mosque...It was too pretty to pass by

We were driving home from taking an early morning walk downtown by the Arabian gulf. We walked near the Parliament building and walked the entire length of Seif Palace. The fountains at the palace were beautiful. As we were speeding down the Coast Road (nothing moves slowly here), I saw the coolest dome and minaret and Gene did a u turn at the next road and we drove into the neighborhood to get a closer look. It was awesome!
