The Detroit Zoo

by admin on Sep.10, 2007, under The Blog

One morning, while in Windsor, we set out for The Detroit Zoo with Zia Enza and Nonna.

We drove through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to get to the States. The tunnel is under the Detroit River, and the entrance is located in downtown Windsor and takes you to downtown Detroit. I always feel a little nervous and somewhat claustrophobic while driving through it as realize that the whole Detroit River is up above us.

Throughout the zoo, you’ll find these painted elephant feet. I still remember how on my first school field trip in grade one to the zoo I thought that the prints were HUGE!!! They don’t look that big to me anymore.


Crazy peacock…..it needs to learn to look both ways before it crosses the road!


Celeste is quite captivated by the polar bear swimming in the aquarium.
