Saturday - February 20th, 2010:
The three of us (I, Ben and Mom G) woke up at 6 am. I had gone to bed late last night, so it was a little bit difficult to wake up...

We went to an indoor place to play tennis (my american mom had a tennis lesson) at 7. I could say I was sleepwalking when I got out of the car, and it was so cold outside! But when we entered the place, the heater made me feel comfy.

Then, we went to Le Peep to have breakfast. I had a delicious omelette!

After that, we went to the racetrack where the Indy 500 takes place! Yes, the famous race, which Emerson Fittipaldi won twice. We went to the Hall of Fame Museum, which had cars that had competed once and images of the champions. We also saw a video there about the history of Indy 500. I learned a lot!



Emerson Fittipaldi!!!


Later, we visited the Indianapolis Zoo, a place that reminded me of Shedd Aquarium. We bought the tickets and received a map of the zoo. There were six areas: Oceans, Marine Mammals, Deserts, Plains, Encounters and Forests. Each area had a different environment, which depended on the animals that were exhibited. So, due to the animal diversity of the zoo, you'll find pictures of animals which live in different habitats here.


Who has the guts to touch a shark? It was a Dog Shark...but still it is a shark!


This is not a painting!!!

Now you know how cold it is here...the Polar Bear was outside, and so was I!





This is Timon (Timão), from the Lion King!

Llama!






See ya, Folks!
