We just had to bring Grammy Sue and Pepere to the Tama Zoo to experience the Lion Bus. Unfortunately it was an adventure that had it's ups and downs. First off, Neal had to work which meant I had to drive (and we all know I am directionally challenged). I got lost, of course, but was able to ask a police man for directions to Tachikawa ecki so I could follow the monorail to the zoo; which i did with success. Plus last Thursday was very hot and humid which doesn't mesh well with the hilly terrain of the zoo. But Grammy and Pepere hung in there with me and survived the trip. Quinn and Scarlett had fun too.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Lion Bus, here's a quick explanation: You board a bus and sit sideways facing out while the zoo workers place pieces of raw meat on the outside of the bus. You are then driven through the lion's habitat where lions are sitting on platforms that have large bones chained to them. The end result is a bird's eye view of lions and their mouths through the bus window. All I can say is, "you'd never experience that in America".
