(sung by paul on the way to the zoo, at the zoo, and leaving the zoo)

Paul and I went to the Zoo today and had a great time. My hands turned purple -what's new. It was cold and the animals weren't very active but it was still a fun time. Lots of snakes, birds, and funny enough there were seagulls and rabbits everywhere.

Funny story: They had a petting farm and we walked into the barn to find pigs and sheep. Well, in the stall with the sheep was this pig in the hay sleeping. I stopped and looked at Paul to ask if he heard something. We stopped and sure enough the pig was snoring. I mean he was sawing logs. It was hilarious. I even shook the stall door to see if he would wake up but nope, not a chance. It was so funny.

Fred the fisherman just bought a big red VW van (I named it Clifford) and driving it was half of the adventure. It's from the states so the driver is on the left hand side of the car driving in the left hand side of the road. I have to give it to Paul that he did very well but I will say I was scared for a little while and afraid that we wouldn't make it. We did and on the way back I saw the most stunning rainbow. It was extremely bright and then the next time I looked back it had turned into a double one. The sad thing was that it didn't last long and by the time I got my camera out it was almost gone... I haven't seen a rainbow in a long time, it made me happy. The rain also made me think about home because it was raining yet the sun was shining bight. Good old Montreat. The leaves here are also starting to change but the color is nothing like at home. The other main difference is that the fields are all still as green as can be. I love the hills.

A couple days ago LA and I stopped at a church. This is something that both of us have been wanting to do for a while now, just go walk in. We know they are ancient and all of them are gorgeous. and it was. I can't tell you how old the church was but there was a grave stone that read: 1797 and the man died at 91 years, that's really old for that time. We also found a sun dial on the outside of the church that looked really really cool. The inside was breathtaking with the stone carvings and stain glass windows. It was silent but welcoming, not creepy. I liked it a lot and signed the guest book.

One more week... this makes me sad so I'm not going to talk about it yet. It's going to be a packed week with Theater on Tuesday night, Halloween on Wednesday, Girls movie night on Thursday, and a group dinner on Friday. Wish me luck!
