Albuquerque zoo
We had another open house yesterday and needed to get out of the house for while to make room for the gazillion people who wanted to look at our house (well, it was acutally only two couples, but that’s better than nobody).
Given the warm weather over the last few days, I decided to take Pia to the zoo in Albuquerque and Michele decided to join us.
I always feel a bit guilty taking photographs of animals in captivity. So the shot above is going to be the only shot of “animals” from the zoo.
It was a beautiful day. Temperatures were up in the 80s and my neck/top of my head show some clear signs of too much sun-exposure. I was happy that I applied at least some sun-screen to Pia …
About half way through the zoo, there was a nice shady area where we rested for a few minutes. This looked just way too nice to not being captured on film ….
Right after taking this photo, Pia complained that she wants to take at least one photo with a “silly face”. Usually “silly faces” is all I get from her. So, here’s the “silly” version of the one above …
I’m really happy that the two of them get along so well.
On our way home we stopped at Flying Star Cafe in Albuquere for some food and drinks. Michele’s friend Debbie, who happens to live just a few blocks from the cafe, joined us for a while. Of course she had to rub it in that she’s about to leave for the Domenican Republic for three weeks. Arggghhh - I think I seriously need some exposure to warm waters soon. Have fun Debbie - I know you will

Tobias, it’s great to see you surrounded by two pretty girls again :-)!! I knew things would go well for you - enjoy,
