Saturday Fun 11.6.2010

We started our Saturday with another bike ride. I think I am actually getting into shape here! It feels really good to get some exercise. Afterwards, we took Jamie to the bird park. It is actually the world's largest free-flight walk-in aviary and only about a 10 minute drive from our apartment. Another great day of adventures for the Rizzos!

We stopped for Spanish coffee at La Bodega


Met a pack of wild dogs along the way!

When do you see a sign like this in the States?


A Montessori school along the way



One huge pelican! This park was really neat because most all of the birds are relatively free and they are everywhere!

A male peacock in full spread. First time I have ever seen this!


Here is a female peacock going after Jamie's ice cream cone!

This was outside the aviary. A wild monkey!

Also outside the aviary, here is a mother monkey with her brand new baby! We saw about 20 monkeys and it was the highlight! We even saw a monkey take a bag of bananas out of some guy's backpack and run away with it. Truly a cheeky monkey!

Looks like SO much fun! Did anyone get pooped on?!? What was the sign? Hard to tell.
