With the uncommonly warm weather in December, we were able to go for a walk and enjoy the zoo on a sunny afternoon.

We walked along the tree top trail and then went down on the ground level trail to see animals more closely.

Then there was the nice warmth and moisture of the tropical display inside of a building entirely dedicated to the theme of animals and plants from this band of nice climate around the “ central belt” of the Earth. Did you know more than half the species of animals on the globe live in this geographical zone?

We rediscovered how delish Punch food is! Our favorites are Punch salad with the focaccia well done and the Adriático pizza with some extra tomato sauce and well settled, well done so that the pizza is crunchy on the bottom.

We came here tonight for the fabulous concert with Pat Metheny in the smaller room on the right side of the building. It was perfect for this performance, the “Dream Box Tour”.

This is a beautiful venue with very helpful staff dressed with pomp.

It’s nice to see how other cultures express their life experiences through art. The museum is very well kept in a beautiful building and staff is helpful and welcoming.

We came here for the first time today, Easter. We purchased the brunch menu in advance when we made reservations. The food very good! I liked the fact that the hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict was not a heavy version of it.
