The zoo is only about 30 minutes from the airport hotel. If anyone wants to go to the Pittsburgh Zoo - I will ride you. Just ask. :o) the Zoo is not to be missed, we have lots of great exhibits - 2 baby elephants and a baby tiger born this summer! There are also meerkats that I love to watch and we even have at least one of our domesticated ferret friend. The ferrets are part of the childrens zoo and you are not permited to touch them, they use them for education and they are not out everyday. Anyway - if someone wants to visit the zoo while they are in town, give me a ring. I'll be your personal driver, a small donation for gas would be appreciated of course - but I'd be happy to do it... along with the view of the city that is not to be missed. :o) Chris [Posted in FML 6106]
