After living here for 4 1/2 years, Penny and I finally made it to the La Serena Zoo.  We’ve been to the zoo in the valley, but never to the small zoo here in town.  This morning seemed like the perfect time to go, and much to my delight when we arrived we found out it’s free!  Some of the highlights included-

I’m sure you will all be seeing more pics from the zoo in the future.  It may become a weekly outing!

We celebrated the New Year our friends.  We started off at our friends Sara and Marcus’ house at 7pm for drinks and appetizers.  It was children friendly, so Penny and some of her friends got to play for a bit.  Then Steve and Penny came home and I went to our friends James and Louisa’s for a party.  New Years day, I awoke to the smell of doughnuts!  Steve had made us some old fashioned doughnuts that were AWESOME!!!! It was the perfect way to start the new year!! Hope everyone has a healthy and happy 2010!!!
