Nap Time at the Erie Zoo

The Erie Zoo is a slumberland of adorable animals - most of whom slept for my entire visit. The sea otters were wide awake, as was the younger giraffe and a baby orangutang. The most interesting thing, of course, was the people watching. I saw a gaggle of young Amish men in matching blue wooolens glued to a video about orangutans in the wild, while right behind them in a glass case was the real thing -- a family of three orangutans -- which they completely ignored in favor of the video. When the meerkats awoke they were pretty amusing too. Meerkats never disappoint.
