Westlake, Texas: Day 4 04/17/08

On the morning, on Thursday April 17th, we went to the zoo and stayed there until 2:30 P.M. During the stay, we ate pizza for lunch and observed lots of animals, many of which I was very impressed, such as the monkeys, the rhinocerous, and some interesting birds, like the tucan and the penguin. We also saw many lizards, crocodiles, elephants, a desperate white tiger that scracthed the glass frantically every time we got closer to hassle him, and a cheetah that kept walking in circles around a tree trunk as if having a nervous tic. Afterwards, we went back home. Olivia's mother suggested to Alberto and me to visit a clothes shop near Town Square to see if there were clothes that we wanted to buy. Unfortunately, I did not find any clothes I liked of my size, while Alberto bought a polo. Next, at night we went with Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins and the Flowers Family (my host family) to see an incredible hockey match between Dallas Stars and the Mighty Ducks of San Francisco. The Stars finally beat the Mighty Ducks 3-1. We saw the match from a V.I.P. room, so it was fantastic! Alberto and I enjoyed this match much more than the baskteball match; there was an even much more motivated crowd shouting loudly all the time.
