A Trip to Africa

Day 4: June 20, 2012

            These next two posts are going to be filled with some pictures and maybe a little bit of poetry so just be prepared. There is not much to say about the zoo that most people have not already experienced so I decided to go with posting a couple photos and doing the Image Sensory again so here goes...

            “I turn to look down at the little red headed, round faced baby in the stroller as he looks up at me he gives me a smirk and then raises an eyebrow.”

            “The bright pink feathers are quite a sight, but the stench that comes with is a terrible smell.”

            “I peer through the glass and the dark, sad, longing gaze of the orangutan meets my eyes. He was all alone."

            “The exhale through the nostrils of the sea lions as they come up for air.”

           “The ‘pop pop pop pop’ heard as the gorilla pounds on his chest.”

            “Mistaking the cry of the chimpanzee for the cry of a child.”

            “Walking into the African Safari exhibit and our group breaks out in ‘IT’S THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!!’”

After the trip to the zoo the Irish Film class had to go watch a Documentary on the making of The Quiet Man. It was not terrible. Though I did, once again, have trouble keeping my eyes open even though this time the movie was at 9pm instead of 9am. After the movie we headed to the pub to meet up with the rest of the group at “American Frat Party” theme night. Furthest thing from any “frat party” I’ve ever seen and it certainly was not American, but it was only a Wednesday.
