Al Areen Wildlife Park

It was one of those days where we just felt like we had to get out of the villa and go somewhere, do something. Though there's not a whole lot we can do on this small island, we hadn't been to the wildlife park yet, so we decided today was the day. Thankfully it wasn't too hot outside, only high 90's. It was comfortable for walking. Equipped with our cameras, we headed to the park for a afternoon of wildlife. The park was much nicer than we imagined. There were mostly birds, and a lot of deer. For most of the park, we could travel by bus and it was overcrowded. I didn't get any photos of that part because I was sitting in the middle, not near a window. The bus stopped at the building that housed the wild cats, but they were behind glass that needed a good cleaning. I was a little disappointed that there were no elephants, zebras or even a camel, but over all it was an enjoyable afternoon. We were thankful to get out and see something different. Afterwards, we met with our caching friends at a Lebanese restaurant for dinner.
