A Day at the Oakland Zoo

There is nothing better then revisiting, or shall I say rediscovering activities and attractions of your youth. I went to the Oakland Zoo on Saturday and had the opportunity to see some of those magical creatures that you only read about in books or see on the Discovery Channel. A very own Giraffe, Chimpanzee and Camel were practically in my backyard! It's amazing with the hussle and bussle of 'grown-up' life how easily we forget about such 'neato' places in the area where we can escape to see interesting wildlife or *sigh* just take in a piece of the world that we wouldn't do on any other day. It was adventurous, exciting and I have to admit, I felt 9 all over again looking at the snakes, tucans and African wildlife at the zoo...
