Disappointment

Went to go check out the lion cubs yesterday.  The parking lot was mostly closed off with some construction happening. There was only one open lane, so needless to say there was no parking.  I found street parking, but it was kinda far.  I decided that since I was already there, I would take the hike.  I put $3 worth of quarters into the meter.

As I walked through the parking lot, I saw quite a few people walking back to their cars.  I would ask each group, "Did you just come from the zoo?  Did you see the lion cubs?"  Not one of them had seen the cubs . . . not one. I had a bad feeling.

There was a line to get in.  As I neared the girl at the counter I saw it.  A tiny, little note.  Taped to the glass. Lion and Siamang Exhibits Closed.  When I got to the girl, I asked, "So the lion cubs are not out?"  She gave me an apologetic look and said, "Yeah, sorry, they were out this morning only." 

Disappointment . . . 

I'm thinking of trying again today.  I got 3 hours free when Aunty's caregiver comes.   We'll see.
