Texas Day 4

Again, our morning schedule was the same as always. This time we went to visit the Fortworth Zoo. It is quite a big zoo, with many animals from North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia. There were elephans, giraffes, many different types of birds (including penguins - in Texas!), fish, snakes, crocodiles, lizards, and other reptiles, tigers, lions, cheetah, kangaroos, monkeys, and orangutans. My personal favorites were the kangoroos and some of the monkeys.


At 2:30 they came to pick us up and took us back to Westlake Academy, just when the students come out to go home at 3:30. Two of Tim's friends, Emily and Lucy, came by to his house, and we hung around and played PS2 for a while. We then had dinner. Earlier, the weather forecast had said that there might be storms that day, and we got one just after dinner. The tornado alarms went off, so we had to stay inside. We kept track of the news on TV. The alarms weren't actually for tornadoes, since the possibility of these was further south, near Fortworth, but for the hail. We didn't get it, but to the south, there was hail the size of golfballs in some areas, and baseballs in others. Since there wasn't much we could do, we stayed talking for a while and then went to bed.
