A Year in Uruguay

Yesterday morning we went to the zoo. Admission was cheap for adults-- 20 pesos (less than $1)-- and free for kids. It was pretty quiet on a school day during the winter, although it was a beautiful morning.

The zoo has a good selection of animals. We enjoyed watching a little monkey trying to smash an orange against a barrel to break through the peel. A huge hippo was sprawled out sunbathing. The giraffes were rubbing necks over the top of their enclosures. The lions were sleeping, which seems to be their default mode everywhere.
