German Zoo and BBQ

Last weekend we went to the Heidelberg Zoo with one of Collin's German friends from high school and his family and friend. This was our first experience visiting a zoo in Germany. The zoo was really nice, it was smaller than the FW Zoo but was nicely kept. One interesting difference was there was not as many barriers between the people and the animals like there are at many of the zoos in the States. We thought this made it easier to see the animals.

After the zoo we went to our first real German barbecue. The difference between a German and Texan barbecue is that our German friends barbecued all pork. They had pork steaks and sausages. All which were really good. They also had a good salad, french fries, and round potatoes. In Texas a traditional barbecue usually consists of beef steaks, chicken, hot dogs, chips, potato salad, and beans. We had a good time.

Here are a few pictures from our zoo trip.
