Dublin zoo

The 1/12/12 we went to the Dublin Zoo. We had a great time there, and we enjoyed a lot. We learned a lot about animals, and we see strange animals, that aren't usual in our country, like: giraffes, tapirs, penguins, elephants, etc...
We had to complete a wordsheet with questions about animals, that also had a wordsearch.
 We ate our packed lunches sitting on benches listening to the latest hits.
We saw a show of sea lions. It was awesome, we saw how sea lions can jump and how they were
fed. We also saw how the zookeeper took care of the penguins.

It was a great day, a little cold but sunny and dry. We had a great time. We are looking forward to the next excursion.
