I signed up for a bunch m...

After hiking with Mike, Gil and I went to the zoo for the backstage elephant program.  I’m starting to not be as happy with the zoo programs as I was at first.  They cost very little compared to the programs at Disney or SeaWorld, but they last only a few minutes.  I’m not sure if I’ll sign up for anymore.  $30-$40 for two of us to have a few...
