A few months ago, I made the trip to Western Pennsylvania to
teach at a writer’s conference held in an isolated community called Stoneboro.
Since we were on our way from Northern New York, we decided to stay
overnight in Erie. What a wonderful surprise!
We were sorry we couldn’t enjoy more of the history and
beautiful scenery, but we were able to take in the Erie
Zoo. We would have gratefully paid
more, but the admittance for seniors was only $5.00, a discount from the already
low price because we are members of the Jacksonville Zoo.
We liked the extraordinary care for the animals who were
obviously content. I especially enjoyed getting so close to the lion. If it
weren’t for the glass between us, I could have petted him or he could have
eaten me. Glad I didn’t find out which.
If ever in Erie, I highly recommend you visit the zoo.
