This weekend was my first foray back to Calgary since the summer I spent "recruiting" for Jesus there back in 2005. It was a quick trip with a truck-ful of sound equipment so the roomie could DJ a wedding....AT THE ZOO. It was a bit of a bait and switch because there weren't actually any animals involved - it was the botanical area of the zoo. Except for a lone turtle in the pond it was all vegetation. After hours of set up and take down for about 5 people who danced the reward was CALGARY ZOO - which we may or may not have weaseled into for free by sweet talkin' the security guard.
The zoo has some wicked animals and a really cheeky elephant but the best part is easily the new penguin exhibit opened about a fortnight ago. You can get just a few feet from the penguins and watch them frolick in the water. A few attempted escape into the crowd and made it 3/4 of the way over the tank edge.
