Louisville Zoo

tamarin monkey and frisky lions

 giraffe and ringed-tailed lemur


As you can see by the pictures the Shaker Village didn't happen.  A huge thunder storm went through the area early this morning.  It didn't stop raining until after 10 so we wouldn't have enough time to go so to the zoo we went.  It was in the upper 80's with 75% humidity, talk about smarmy.  These are some of my favorite animals.  I really love the snakes and spiders but as most of you know Owen isn't all that fond of snakes (scared to death) so there would be no pictures of any reptiles.  There was no rain while we were there but the skies were threatening and the humidity just about did us in, give me Maine any day. Just a funny side note..there are "adult" stores here.  The stores are on one side of the highway and a religious message is across the way on the other side.  I find it rather funny.   We leave here tomorrow.  A long drive so it will be an early departure.
