We started off our day going to the zoo. I had been fore-warned that the zoo was not that great so I didn't have high expectations. It definitely could stand some improvement but it wasn't as bad as I had prepared myself for it to be. One of the zoo security men took it upon himself to be our guide. He took us around and made sure we saw all the animals and told us what they were. When we got to the cages of the big chimpanzees, he was quick to pull me away and warn me to be looking out. Unfortunately, before he could get Jourdan's attention it was too late. The chimp threw a rock and hit her in the chest. Fortunately it wasn't a big rock and he didn't throw it too hard. Here are some pictures of some of the animals that we saw.
The highlight of the day was meeting up with some friends and eating at the Brazilian restaurant. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet of vegetables and salads. The waiters would come by the table with different meats (beef, pork, and chicken) on skewers and slice off pieces for you. It was delicious! We finished off the meal with a dish of ice cream and great conversation.
Alas, all good things must come to an end. Day #5 of spring break will be spent packing up and heading back home to Fatick. It has been a great spring break!
Sounds like those chimps are violent little critters! Glad Jordan was okay. It's always interesting to go to the zoo to see animals we don't get to see too often. Glad yall had fun. Safe trip home!
