We had a raucous crowd of 11 women today at the Austin Zoo. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the animals were amazing. The adventuresome women included Tina, Amelia, JoanB, LisaS, CindyF, Gloria, SandyO, Geneva, Rachel, and Teresa, a friend of Gloria’s, and me.
We saw many animals including lions, tigers and bears. Oh, my! We also had a chance to see many primates, tortoises, and peacocks. The number of animals and variety was just amazing. Not to be left out, were the wolves.
We had a chance to see the new cougar cubs and to watch the bear-feeding demonstration. I am pleased to announce that no TOWN members were used as bear bait.
There was so much to see that we never had a chance to stick too close to each other, but amazingly, in TOWN tradition, we all met at noon for a picnic lunch. The sunshine was warm and the air was cool, which allowed us to bask both in the shade and sun in great comfort. We were also able to go on the train ride and see the sights of the countryside. It was a perfect day to share with the great TOWNIES.
Until next time . . . Happy Trails.
