day off

today, i truly experienced why God says we need a sabbath

unplugged. detoxed emotionally. refreshed. thankful.

i had a sabbath monday and went to one of 

my favorite places in Nice...

Parc Phoenix

{for 5 hours... ahhhh... sigh of relief}

 

i will never tire of the cool stuff God makes - wow


 
the sea otters are my favorite to watch swimming; today, they were enjoying dead fish

this little guy was chowin' down

  

 i forget exactly what they are called, but basically mini kangaroos

 

this is where i spent almost 3 hours eating lunch, resting, reading

thought he was a sculpture at first

tropical rainforest

right here, the "rainforest" rained on me =)

they look plastic, don't they?

love birds

 

these guys were talkative

 

i forget how big ostriches are

mermaid

bunny

back to the kangaroos

t-bird

why is so cute to watch this little guy eat?

and this photo pretty much sums me up today...


2 other happy things today:
1) i got 3 letters in the mail !!! 
{thank you Craaaaaaastal, Steph, and Cricri}
2) i danced tonight - ballet makes me happy

Love Linz
