Visiting the Zoo

This weekend I took my first Metro ride and went to the zoo. I managed to figure out how to purchase and use the reusable electronic card with the help of some nice strangers. I also managed to get on the train going in the correct direction and get off at the correct stop. It was so warm, I figured it was the perfect time to go to the zoo. Here's some of the photo's I took. More to come later. I would explain what all the animals are, but if it's not obvious what they are, I probably don't remember either. The lion and the tiger tied for my favorite of the day. The Lion posed so nicely, but the tiger was playing with his toys and that was pretty entertaining to watch.

Penguins at the Hyatt

One of the things I loved most about Maui was that my property was right next to the Hyatt and the Hyatt has several different types of birds at their property including penguins. If you're feeling sorry for the Penguins thinking they must have hated the warm weather, you should know these Penguins come from South Africa not Antarctica and are used to warm weather. The last couple of months I was there Brandi and I walked over to the Hyatt at lunch time for a little exercise, so I got to see the Penguins a lot. The day I took my camera along there was also a Heron fishing in their pond.

Last Days at the Maui Ocean Club

One of my last days at the Maui Ocean Club I walked around and took some final photos of the property.



Here is where the high tides washed out the bank and also part of the beach walk.
