Stuffs!
Up at about 9:00 this morning, too the zoo at about 10:20!
Met Kanda at Chiba station, then ate tonkatsu. Yummm... Then off to the zoo! :) We took the monorail, which I'm still debating whether to call a "flying train" or an "upside down train".
When we got to the zoo, almost no one was there. Well, there was a big school group, but they were leaving. We wandered around, and came across the monkeys. Many many awesome monkeys! Pics will come later....... But there were lots of monkeys, and I got some good pictures. Got lots of bad ones too, but those don't matter.
Then we went to the "Children's zoo" area. That was the most guinea pigs I've ever seen in one place.... Woah. The capybaras were adorable too... And the cows. And everything else there... Turtles, chinchillas, and whatnot.
The giraffes at this zoo were the best, I think. The red panda was great too. Very cute, There was lots of stuff, and the only way I will adequately be able to document it is with pictures.... Which will come later. Might be a few days, because I have some busy days ahead of me. But it might not... So just stay tuned. The only thing I didn't get a good picture of that should be mentioned are the shoebills... There were lots of them! But they were all inside, and I couldn't get a good picture through the glass.
So anyway, we spent quite a while at the zoo... Good time! :) I think we all had fun... And we went to the gift shop afterwards to get something for the kids.... And I got a couple things for Kento and a stuffed penguin (which Kanda bought me... But it's cute! :)). I haven't named it yet.... Any ideas?
Anyway, after the zoo, we took the "upside down flying train" (that works!) back to Chiba station... Then we went shopping... But I was getting tired, so I basically just followed mindlessly. Finally we were able to go home.... I was sleepy, so it kind of became a blur at the end. I took a nap on the train.... Sleepy. Then we walked back to the house, I had dinner, took a bath, listened to some podcasts.... A kid in Corvallis does a pretty good podcast that I'm enjoying. :)
And nnow I should probably try to sleep. Maybe do a couple sudoku first. Helps tire my brain... ;) Not really... I use them as brain breaks sometimes too... But oh well. I have to get up early for school tomorrow... Sixth grade.... Creepy. So g'night. Wish me luck.
