The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
Yesterday we decided to visit the local Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. We’d never been and since we’re often looking for a deal we chose to go on Wednesday as the entry fee for seniors was only $10 that day.
118 species, 22 critically endangered species.
The inhabitants of the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo are a richly diverse and decidedly unique population for a small-town community zoo. Every single animal has a name and a backstory. No matter their beginnings or their circumstances, they all have a loving and safe home at Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.
I’m always torn regarding zoos. Upset to see these beautiful animals in captivity yet lucky to to be able to see and learn about them.
There are numerous pros and cons on the subject of zoos. This article contains a video interview with Jane Goodall regarding zoos.

It was a small zoo, only took us an hour to walk it but we saw quite a few animals etc.
One of the reasons I wanted to go was to take pictures to send to my grandson. He and his parents love to go to the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton, New Brunswick.

I shared some photos with them. Not sure what he thought of them. Mainly I took the photos so he could look at them and name the animals.
Being a singer I loved this.
Lunch was in their restaurant, Savanna. The best I can say is that it was mediocre.
But supper was certainly not mediocre. The complete opposite.
A great evening with friends who cooked us an authentic Polish meal. Oh my goodness. So delicious. Polish sausage, pirogies, cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, beets, fermented red cabbage, and sauerkraut. The meal ended with velvety smooth Polish chocolate. What an outstanding meal.
Stimulating conversations ended the evening. Not heated as we all have similar opinions about the latest news.
