Going to the Zoo

Flamingos

Well more like went to the zoo. The L.A zoo in Griffith park.

Our first stop was Kalinka Russian Cuisine for lunch since I didn’t want to pay for over priced food at the zoo. The food was very tasty and it was just a short way from the zoo.

The Zoo is a combination Botanical garden with vegetation chosen to match the animals enclosure.

Plants

Near the entrance we watched a harbor seal for a bit before heading uphill (the whole zoo is on a hill so lots of uphill) Passing the Flamingos and reaching the reptile exhibit.

We made our way through various other exhibits and by the time we reached the hilltop near the Elephant enclosures we realized it was getting late as a great many of the animals were retreating inside as it got cooler. After a brief stop to watch the Flamingos being shooed inside by their caretaker, We headed back down and went out in search of our own dinner.
