I know I promised some pictures, so I'm finally delivering a slideshow. I tried to keep the photos in the order in which they were taken. The first day, we checked into the hotel, went straight for the zoo, which is a driving safari. There are places you can get out and stretch your legs, but by and large, the animals are in charge. Super fun place to visit with the kids.

At the monkey house, I laughed until I cried because this one monkey had his hand all balled up in a fist, fixing to clock a duck in the head, but the duck jumped in the water at the last minute. Monkey chased Duck all over the place. I got a picture of it, I think. See if you can spot it.

Anyway, we covered as much as we could until the storm rolled in. We ate dinner there and then headed back to the hotel. Later, we went out between thunderstorms and walked around the zocalo. That's where I took the picture of the cathedral. We settled on the square outside a cafe and drank hot cocoa while snuggled up beneath the umbrella. Their macaroons were lovely. Made a dash back through the rain to the hotel and slept.

In the morning, we got up and I took a bunch of pictures at the hotel, starting with the one of my two darling children at the breakfast table. Then we went back to the zoo to see a few things we missed because of the storm, including wolves, lemurs and kangaroos. At the gift shops, I bought a really interesting painting. Then we went home.

And that's our most recent road trip. I hope you enjoy the sights! (Note, it's pretty long, but there's some neat stuff if you have the time.)
