Sunny, 80 degree day, no humidity, this was a paradise. We originally came for the Zoo, but could not find a parking space. So we just walked in the park around the lake and spend an hour watching the wild life. Not only there are ducks, geese, fish and turtles, there were nutrias swimming and begging for food.

I especially like the Hermann Park Zoo which has animals in a natural, jungle-like setting. One favorite exhibit is the tropical birds, which apparently have their wings clipped so that they will not fly away and nest in a semi-tropical place like Houston.
