Monkeying around at the Zoo!
Today was bright and sunny, the best day since I have arrived in Germany. We decided to spend it at the Zoo; named after Carl Hagenbeck. He was a fishmonger and in 1863 began as an amateur animal collector. He founded the park where the zoo sits in 1907. The animals were definitely enjoying the nice weather too, a lot were super active and vocal.

BONAIRE - Day 2 - One of my top 10 so far!
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
PORT OF SPAIN, TABAGO - The Miller's arrive for a visit!
