I woke up early despite the late night before to meet up with Sam, Lesley, Megan, Erin, and Dan at Bellecour at 10 am.
Once we all got there, we started our journey to the Parc de la Tête d’Or (Park of the Golden Head). We managed to find our way there with the metro. The park is huge! It has a zoo, lake, and botanical gardens! The 1st animals we saw were some deer – which were only separated from us by a ditch and a high wall.
At first, I thought that the deer would be the most interesting thing there, but I was wrong. As we kept walking, we saw lemurs, monkeys, and giraffes, some buffalo looking things, a lion, and even a crocodile! And elephants too! The zoo was nothing like the San Diego Zoo, but it was still pretty cool – and free!
After seeing the animals and walking through one of the green houses at the botanical gardens, Dan and Erin headed off and the rest of us went to a small kebab place nearby – I really missed kebabs in the States.
