This past weekend saw the weather improve dramatically. It reached a top temperatue of 21 C yesterday which was a big improvement from last weekend. Being such a good day we decided to head off to the Denver Zoo for the day. The zoo was quite old looking from the outside and we discovered that it has been around for quite some time. The bear enclosure was built in 1908 and was considered state of the art in the construction of the fake mountains. A number of other enclosures were showing their age, being small and dark. A few new areas have been established but it was a bit depressing seeing some of the larger animals in small enclosures, including the elephants and the rhino. Anyway we had a great day in warm sunshine and the highlight for me was watching the playful polar bears swimming around. The only disaster that occurred this day happened to the pinball of course, he fell down a concrete step onto his forehead and a golfball size lump appeared not too long after.
