THINK TROPICAL

Winter is getting to us. We're quite over the cold. We're quite over sledding and slipping and sliding and layers of clothing. Since March 1st brought a 9 degree day, instead of a warm sunny 40 degree day, we compensated by going the MN Zoo to walk the tropics trail and get a warm climate body and spirit infusion. Flamingos, a hands-on tide pool, a huge coral-reef tropical fish tank, and bea-u-tiful orchids, among other things. And being hardy Minnesotans, we did decide to brave the temps and walk out to see the Grizzly bears, part of a remarkable Russian Coast exhibit complete with a Grizzly self-serve salmon pond. Hopefully the next time we go, we'll be enjoying warmer weather as we visit the baby animals on the Zoo farm. Please hurry Spring, we're getting a bit impatient.
