It was so H-O-T. Too hot for animals to be coming out from under the shade to say hi to us.

There was so much walking involved. Like miles of walking through pretty nature.

When we finally got to the North American side from the African side, I wanted to dive into the glistening blue pool with the Harbor Seals. It was that hot!

Hotter than an otter!
We waited in the longest line ever to take the Tram back to the other side of the zoo to get back to the car. I almomst gave into a $3 bottled water from the vending machine, but I resisted and survived until the closest convenience store.
