Maymont, part 1

Maymont Park in Richmond is rather epic. Waterfalls, Italian & Japanese gardens, a historic house…And that’s just the area that I’ve checked out so far. (I still haven’t managed to tour the house yet.) So on to pictures!

National Zoo

So the Zoo. The Smithsonian National Zoological Park, to be exact.

You know I love big cats, and they have LOTS. And red pandas.  And pandas, wolves, foxes, cheetahs, and so many great animals the Norfolk Zoo doesn’t have.  The only thing I don’t like is that you have to backtrack so much. And the hills. I hate the hills. If you enter from the road/metro station areas, then it’s downhill as you walk through and uphill on the way back.

But overall, it’s a fun visit!
