Joy and I took a train to Basel, Switzerland during my travel week, and we went to the local zoo. I haven't been to a zoo in quite some time, so it was pretty cool to see all the animals. We saw elephants, monkeys, giraffes, bears, different birds, and much more. But what was the coolest thing we saw were the penguins!! What made it even better was that the penguin keeper opened the gate and let the penguins loose amongst the crowd of people watching! It was hilarious watching the penguins waddle out and up the road like a parade, glancing at everybody wondering why everybody was making a fuss and staring at them. Joy and I stayed there for the entire afternoon, ate lunch, and went back to Strasbourg. Now that I have been to Germany and Switzerland, albeit for a small amount of time, I have two countries in Europe that I really want to visit: Spain and Greece.
