Day 23 - 24 Tea, Art and Zoo

Yesterday Barbara and I did separate things. Flo took Barbara to a Victorian tea house (http://www.thevictorianlady.net/tea_room.htm) for lunch and she had a wonderful time. First they had a lovely lunch and then they got a tour of the house which was ordered from the Sear’s catalog. She loved it. I on the other hand went to Burger King for lunch and then went to Wal-Mart to pick up some stuff we needed.
Today we drove to Melbourne to go to the Brevard Art Museum (
http://www.brevardartmuseum.org). They where having an exhibition of Annie Leibovitz’s work called Women. The photos where all of famous and not famous women she has photographed over the years. The photography was very impressive. After leaving the museum we went to the Brevard Zoo (http://www.brevardzoo.org/) a few miles away. It is a small zoo but makes up for it in how it is organized. They have an African area where you can go kayaking or feed the Giraffes. In the Australian area they have a walk through aviary where you can feed the birds, which was great fun (see pictures). The wild Florida area had several American Alligators and American Crocodiles. You can watch them be fed but we did not do that. The last area was La Selva Rainforest where they have a jaguar enclosure with a female jaguar and her two cubs. It was fun to watch the cubs playing with each other. Then it was time to go home to the trailer.
