My family and I went to the zoo yesterday. We left our apartment to find a taxi which took a long time for us to get. Finally we found a taxi. It was an Ecuadorian zoo and its name is Amaru Zoologica. It was very different than the Birmingham zoo. It is different than our zoo because there are many different animals and they’re all over the place. I got to get up close to the animals – some I could actually touch. We weren’t allowed to touch them, but we did it anyway. It wasn’t boring. It was exciting!
My favorite animals were a lion, a monkey, a crocodile, and a llama. I liked the lion because it was soooooo close to us. I liked the monkeys because they were so cute and they could go anywhere they want. And guess what: they use their hands like humans. I liked the llamas because they almost spit at me, which was really cool. And I got to pet one!
Last but not least is I’m sooooo grateful that I got to go to this awesome zoo here in Cuenca. Plus, my awesome dad helped me write this post, correct my spelling, and so much more. I hope you liked it, and this video we made:
Go Gales Go! 
That does sound like a wonderful zoological experience! (And yes, very different than the Bham Zoo!) As you know, lions are my favorite. I always look forward to visiting them at any zoo! Please keep sharing about all the amazing experiences you’re having. I’m SO enjoying keeping up with the Gale’s! Miss you but am so excited for you all!
