To The Zoo!!!

{ March 6, 2012 @ 2:01 am } · { Family/Friends, Food, life }

First off. I want to thank the readers who followed me on bloglovin. If that’s you, then leave your name in the comments so I can follow you back. I probably already have, but just in case let me know. Or if you have a different site you would like me to subscribe to let me know also.

So we went to the zoo on Saturday. Jody and Mija have memberships and they let Kat and me tag along. 😀 We walked to the train and I personally like the light rail so much more than the bus It’s faster and has more seating. If only the rails were all over Houston then public transportation would be a lot more fun.  We were on a time crunch so we had to wake up early. But we managed to see everything I wanted to. Elephants, peacocks, orangutans and the red panda are all the animals I was hoping to see.  As you can see from my gif playing in the sidebar, the red panda was one of my favorite animals I saw this weekend. So adorable. The mommy and baby orangutans were just so cute. The mom was named Cheyenne  and she is a surrogate mother to abandon babies. Her newest baby is Aurora. She had the cutest case of bed hair. When we first went around to their exhibit we couldn’t see them. They were laying down behind the pillars. The playground was decorated for Aurora’s first birthday. They had birthday presents all over  the place, Cheyenne took it as her duty to open and consume whatever was in the box. There was also this hilarious lemur who kept spreading his arms upwards. Too funny. Once I saw him I couldn’t help but sing, I like to move it move it. It was the same type of lemur that sings that song in the movie Madagascar.

After we left the zoo we walked back to the train and took it to Les Girvals for the best bahn mi sandwiches ever. Ok, so I haven’t really tried any other places. But these sandwiches are so freaking yummy and I feel like it just can’t any better than this. The BBQ is marinated in this amazing sauce plus the sandwiches are only 2.50 so whenever I have money I head over there and treat myself. Especially since now I know how to get there from my house. I did try the place on campus but it was horrible. There was this horrible hummus spread on in instead of the yummy sauce that makes the sandwich great. This is also probably the reason I don’t try any other restaurants.

So do you have a restaurant that you prefer?

    @Kat, Yeah I had fun too. I’m sorry that your foot started hurting. I hope our weekend in Nola isn’t too hard on your foot.

    Red pandas are so cute. 🙂 I wish we had those (and giant pandas) at our zoo.

    My husband and I have a favorite Thai/Vietnamese restaurant. They make their food fresh, when it is ordered, with no MSG. They also have a good selection of sushi.

    Yumyum, 2.50 is such a good deal for a sandwich! And that was a lovely video, so many animals! The lion action was pretty cool, although the shaky cam did make me feel a little motion sick! :/
