Not Our Usual Sunday Walk

 

 

    Today, June 2, was supposed to be the next Sunday of our weekly walking exercise.  Well in a way it was, but the walk couldn't be measured but miles this time, it was measured in TIME (3 1/2 hrs).  Dorothy and I spent this Sunday after in Chicago on a walking tour of Lincoln Par Zoo and the Lincoln Park Conservatory. 

 

    It was the most beautiful of days,  light drizzle when we embarked on the trip and cloudy and cool (50 degrees) when we arrived at our destination.

 

    The first stop was a quick visit to the Zoo in the Farm. Typical animals, cows, horses etc.  Because of the chill in the air a lot of the animals weren't out and around.  This just add more steps and time to our visit.

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we left the farm we realized that it was probably a little cool for most of the animals to be out and around.  We did see some Camels, Zebra, Apes and a Tiger.  The rest wer inside.
