Not as much going on today. We visited the other of Muzukuza’s two churches and then we went to the zoo. They were charging extra money for cameras and I didn’t think the zoo would be worth it so I didn’t bring my camera in. But it turned out to be a decent zoo. They had lions, tigers, crocodiles, parakeets, parrots, many different types of monkeys, and a couple of different eagles and falcons. We also saw a banded mongoose and a shoebill stork.
Later I was talking to Vanessa and describing the animals to her. She is the one who figured out the names of many of the animals I had seen. When we were looking up the shoebill stork, we found an article from the Houston Zoo bragging about how “only a few zoos in the world have shoebills.”
