A Wonderful Day

Hi All,

This morning we drove to Kingsley Plantation to hike four miles around Fort George Island with Nell & Lois, two volunteers at the Plantation. It was a delightful hike with two delightful new friends. 

We all then drove to Singletons, a Mayport, FL seafood landmark where we met our dear friend Evalyn Campbell. The five of us had a great lunch.

After lunch we joined Evalyn on a tour of the Jacksonville Zoo. Evalyn, who has been here dozens of times, led us through the zoo highlights.

Here's a Giraffe being fed wax myrtle


The new Tiger Exhibit was fantastic.

with lots of opportunities to see the five Tigers.

The jaguar exhibit is built to look like a Mayan Ruin

with pools for the thirsty cats.

For you reptile fans, here's a Bushmaster.

This critter looks intimidating but it is a Giant Anteater.

The winner of the showy fur contest is this Colobus Monkey.

We are so lucky to have so many friends and so many wonderful things to see.

Love,
