Devin, right outside our flat overlooking the courtyard. We went to the Zoo today, which is only 10 minutes by bus from where we live (except that we took the wrong bus on the way there, so it was a little longer). It's a wonderful zoo -- the buildings for the animals are really, lovely especially the monkey house, where you can walk in among little exotic monkeys as they climb trees, etc. Light pours in from the large windows and the glass sections of the ceiling -- sort of like a mini Conservatory at the Botanical Garden in the Bronx. The Budapest Zoo is apparently the third largest in all of Europe.
As you can see, Devin got her face painted (a butterfly), and there were tons of other activities for kids today, sponsored by Duracell.
Other highlights were the giraffes, and the hippos which we literally came face to face with as they stuck their wide open mouths almost through the gates.
Devin also met a big bunny today, significant because she's always been afraid of masks and people in big costumes. She even shook the bunny's hand!
