The Sunday Traveler and a friend decided it would be a good day to let our inner child out to play, and headed in to the San Francisco zoo. A cold and foggy day it was, but then that’s the usual for San Francisco.
The first stop was at the giraffe enclosure. Beautifully set in a corner of the zoo; they were my favorite animal to see that day.
And on we went walking here and there all around the zoo. I’ll just take you on the walk
A great hornbill
Oh, and we had fun with the little steam train
The peacocks were a wonderful part of the zoo, wandering around loose all over the place
The gardens were so well incorporated in and around all of the animals, it truly felt like a wonderful wild life park
One disappointment was that the carousel was closed, but I did sneak this photo through the glass doors.
It was a fun day, and like two kids in a candy store, we did visit the gift shop to buy a couple of things for grandkids.
Travel on wherever the road takes you.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the SF zoo. Tilden Park carrousel has a Night Christmas Event you might like http://www.tildenmerrygoround.org/christmas.html I love it. A little campy but magical photo opportunity.
