Southeast Asia

We were already for a few months in Bali, Indonesia. Also, Singapore, Malaysia, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and now in Bangkok.
Thailand has been a really good country for us. We don't want to leave.
We are staying one more month here and off we go again back to the States.
We are really getting used to travel around. Each time it gets easier and easier.
There are so many things to talk about these countries! I will do that in another post.
For now we are already thinking where to go next...

Our Second Journey...

We are extremely happy to announce that our second stop will be Bali, Indonesia!!
We had plan to live in Charleston SC for a while and then go to our second destination.
Sometimes things don't work the way you plan to. We couldn't get an affordable, nice
apartment downtown Charleston.
Bummer!
Ohhh it is totally ok!!! Because we got the "Bug" again. We are leaving the country in about
a week and a half!!
We are trying to go to Bali for two months and then work our way up to Singapore, Malaysia and Bangkok.
We hope to stay in Bangkok for 3 more months. Who would ever thought??!!!
In the meantime, I already have an interview schedule in Bali for a Zumba teacher position, yay!!
Wish us luck! :-)

The Zoo

This past week we went to the Buenos Aires Zoo  which is located in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires. The city location is pretty unique for zoo's, but considering it was built almost 137 years ago it is better described as the city of Buenos Aires having built up around it. It sits on 44 acres but feels much smaller and is easily walked in only a few hours.
We had a great time in spite of my ankle hurting a little. I used a wheelchair and my wonderful husband was kind enough to push me all the way!!!
One of the really cool things about this zoo is that you can feed the animals... everyone but the cats (lions and tigers) and the giraffe. There are kiosks all through the park where you can purchase "approved food" for the animals and then lots of opportunities to feed all kinds of animals. Besides being a lot of fun, giving the animals food means that you can get much closer to zoo animals than is the case in most zoos.
One of our favorite animals, and one that we have never seen before, was the Panda Rojo or Red Panda. These little guys are awful cute.
