Zoológico

OK, so when you think of Bs As, you think of late night outings and tango, but when you are traveling with a three year old, sometimes you just have to scrap all that and head to the zoo.

luckily, All of the major characters of Madagascar where represented.   Melman above.   Check out the tongue.   We are getting good enough with Spanish that we can negotiate routing and price with the cab drivers.   None of whom speak English (so far)  although they are almost always listening to US 80’s hair metal on the radio.    This new skill is saving us countless hours of walking.   Stewart and Ava plan to tackle the Bus and train system next week.

This city is SERIOUS about playgrounds.  And there are carousels everywhere.  The zoo has two.  Ava’s had so many spins that it is old hat for her,  even though the first time she saw one was Tuesday.

And if anybody knows what the creature below is,  please advise.  They are roaming the zoo freely with the humans.   And nobody there could seem to tell us what they were.

    Might be a capybara, very large South American rodent?
