My husband and I went to the zoo today--first time I've gone since Hurricane Katrina. First impressions: they've done a great job of cleaning up after the hurricane damage. Some exhibits are still closed, and some sections are still being renovated, and some of the enclosures need a bit of re-landscaping, but all in all, it looks good. Most of the animals are back, and the people are certainly back and having a good time.
( And the animals all axed for you... )
