Safari
Safari, Ramat Gan
We had an adventure! We went on safari! The ostriches, rhinos, zebras, crowned cranes, marabou, waterbucks, Arabian oryx and their friends, greeted our car as they strode over to welcome the days' visitors to the Safari Park in Ramat Gan, Israel.
After passing the welcoming committee and entering the parking area, we were pleased to see that golf carts are available for rent for those who prefer to scoot around.
Ready to meet and learn more, we found the apes busy playing lively games of tag and catch. While the giraffes were enjoying their lunch, so did we. We ate pitot stuffed with vegetables, while the giraffes preferred their greens-n' other veggies straight. The family of elephants charmed us and we enjoyed watching them maybe as much as they enjoyed watching us.
m
Amazing acrobats from the Chinese circus treated us to an outstanding performance. We watched women juggling tremendous clay planters on their feet. Then other women climbed into the same pots and the jugglers turned the planters around with their feet with the women inside!

Plate spinners. A man who stacked one chair atop another kept balancing in a single-handed handstand, he reached a height of as many as eight high! Their
avi
stunts astounded us. We had such fun but were exhausted long before we had a chance to visit all of the animals. We definitely need to visit again!
Driving out, we saw the lions that were lounging under the trees. Happily, they were well fed and relaxed and we could enjoy watching them from the comfort of our own car.
