The Zoo!!!!

Our second to last day we finally made it out to the zoo!

Now, I like zoos. Adam and I are avid zoo go-ers. But this? This was special.

And not just because non-american zoos let you get REALLY close to the animals. Because they do. There are signs everywhere telling you not to feed the animals they're so close you actually COULD! I, who has a weak arm and has never played any athletic sport, could EASILY throw a rock at something as dangerous as a bear!!!! That fact alone is pretty awesome. But it gets better.

and it doesn't get better JUST because it's a zoo AND huge aquarium AND has dolphin shows AND has over 20 bears.

This zoo, the madrid zoo..... are you ready?

Are you really ready?

because, get this, the madrid zoo has PANDAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

panda, panda, PANDAS.


Yeah, you better freaking believe it. I could barely breathe with excitement.

I've SEEN the pandas once before at the sane deigo zoo. but this was NOTHING like that.

That was like seeing a celebrity at a concert in a pack of photographers.

This? This was an intimate night out with just the pandas, adam, and I eating dinner, sipping wine, and discussing life. This was the pandas and I hanging out on our own terms having a great time just getting to know each other.

Call me a crazy stalker that creates an imaginary love affair between myself and the victim, I don't care. We love each other and there's nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise.

Oh, and I saw some other animals. whatever.




















If I had a dollar for every picture I took of those pandas I'd probably be a millionaire.
