First days with Sarah

So after one night in Washington we were back on track and made it to our destination. Here's Sarah and dad...Our first day there was spent at a zoo/botanical garden called Manda Wanga. Sarah loves this place, and often finds reason to go there for the afternoon. It was really gorgeous, and I was amazed at how green and lush everything is. I hear it doesn't look that way in the hot/dry season, but during rainy season the trees were perfect.
After hours of walking around we found these tables in the shade and had a few bottles of Castle to quench our collective thirst.

There were all sorts of animals here that we got to see up close. The staff kept them in the back somewhere and let them out for feeding time when we were there. So we got a good look at crocs, lions, monkeys, warthogs, cheetahs and all sorts of animals.

We did see some lions on our safari later on, but they were a little far away for a clear picture. It was still kind of neat to see them here. Funny to see cats THAT big!
