Penguins!!

Thursday afternoon was spent at City Park*, St Louis Zoo and Science Center. Big, beautiful park they made in the middle-ish of city. Zoo was nice, but doesn't compare to Milwaukee Zoo, except maybe in two areas: Herpetological Building and the new Penguin habitat. Penguins (and puffins) had a great area to hang out and swim, and it's nearly completely open - had a penguin swimming within touching range, close enough to splash you. Very very cool.
Science center was small but alright. Nothing more to say on that.

*Lots of plainly named things in St Louis, people don't seem to screw around with that. City Museum, City Park, bars and restaurants named after owner's name like Pappy's, Joe's, Johnny's, or even our hotel's bar, the Brew House. I know it's like that other places too, but seems just a bit more so here.
