Last look at the condo

Here's the infamous hot tub that we spent so many hours soaking in and calling people in the snowbound east.

A last look at the view from our balcony.

A fishing boat goes out the channel for the day's work.

Last Sunset at Mission Beach

Well, the last one we'll see this year, anyway.

Moon over Mission Point

As we watched the sunset, I looked back and saw that the moon had risen over Mission Point. You can't see our condo in this shot, but it's just in front of and to the left of that white building that you can see. The road and the jetty that run right past our condo.

Wild Animal Park

These Okapi are the only animal related to the giraffe. They have long blue tongues, like giraffes.
Pink flamingos. The Land Rover is part of the exhibit.
Abyssinian Ground-Hornbills. (Thanks to Larry from Missouri for this info.) They looked prehistoric.
One of our favorites, the gorilla exhibit. Signs warn you not to make eye contact.

Wild Animal Park

On or trip to the Wild Animal Park, we saw these white rhinos.

The giraffes were far away, but we could see that one was a baby!

Black rhino.

Marabou Stork. (Thanks to Larry from Missouri for that information!) Love that curly hair! Lots of fly-in birds were hanging around these birds, as they had just been fed cow spleens. Great blue heron, snowy egrets, a great egret and a black-crowned night heron were all hanging around.
