Calgary Zoo

---

As every good tourist does when there's time to spare, we visited the Calgary Zoo today. It was smaller than we expected, but we still managed to spend a good few hours looking around. We caught a few of the talks given by the workers and animal trainers - which were very interesting and interactive, and took numerous photos of the animals.

There was even and Australian exhibit! It contained a few Kangaroos and an Emu outside, and a Tree Kangaroo and a few birds and lizards inside, so it was fairly... ahem... lame... (which we'd already been informed of by some 10 year old family friends of the Courtneys), but it had to be seen!

After our zoo visit we caught the train up to a Dairy Queen store (suprise suprise!) to meet Mary and to head home after a VERY long day!
