Trip to the Zoo

Rachel and I went to the zoo today. It was a hot day today, but it was good to get out. The zoo was actually really nice. Of course b/c we are not locals we had to pay 10 times what the locals pay to get in, but it was still worth it. Rachel loved the Jaguars, we had to watch them for about 20 minutes. Most of the exhibits were really nice. But the elephants were all just changed up in a row...pretty sad.

Today was weird though, b/c I think that there were more pictures taken of Rachel and I then there were being taken of the animals. You see people are intrigued by Rachel. They often see white adults, but they don't usually see many white children. So wherever we go, Rachel gets her cheeks pinched, and everyone crowds around her to touch her. But it seemed much worse at the zoo today. I was even asked to pose with a family for a picture. Just seems kind of weird...why would they want a picture of me? But overall it was fun, & Rachel had a good time playing with some kids at the zoo playground.
