Darcy and Cris visited us for two short days last week. We had a day of dispiritingly cold weather, during which the boys went to a shooting gallery (Ah, the South!), and the girls went to Costco and purchased socks. Our friend Chris Trimpe happened to be in town from NY as well, for a conference, so she came along with us. Trust the Myers to show you a good time.
Wednesday was a sunnier day, and we were able to venture outside to the zoo. We rode the train, saw the komodo dragon and the kangaroos, and then were treated to a unique sight: an anteater licking the ears of a capybara, the world's largest rodent, for a good five minutes. The capybara loved it; he lay down on his side, and half-closed his eyes in bliss. I guess if you're essentially an oversized guinea pig, an ear wash is your version of a spa day. I'm not sure what the anteater got out of the arrangement: some tasty ear mites, perhaps?
Komodo Dragon
It was too cold for the real one to come out (seriously).
Can you spot the bat?
