Well i guess not... he decided to back Monica Lewinsky's X-Boyfriend's Wife.
we get there and the exit for Zoo drive is lined with cars parked for the soccer fields. No real traffic, but cars everywhere. The parking lot is a little full, and we end up parking about 3 rows back. and when we walk up to the gates, there is a bit of a line, but they've got a table set up to the left side with 20 clipboards on it. There is nobody waiting at the table so we walk up and pick up a clipboard and fill out our information. About 3 minutes later, we've already got an annual membership pass, and we walk through the membership entrance while having to wait for one couple that's in a bit of an argument.
I really didn't think much of this. I thought the zoo had been open for hours. Jen's been every year with her class, so I figured she'd say something. We just start walking and head for the animals way into the park. We quickly get out of the little crowds in the entrance road, and in many areas have exhibits almost to ourselves. There were a couple spots where it got a little crowded, but that was usually around new exhibits where you can get 2 feet from an animal behind a huge wall of glass. The gorillas especially, everybody was crowded around.
But honestly we got through all the areas we wanted to and by 11:20 we were already deep in the zoo and ready to head back out. So from the back of the zoo we take one of the outside perimeter roads thats nothing other than a nice walk. There are no animals on them at all, and the tram is actually the only other thing we see as we make our way to the entrance. Then it hits me. The road joins back up with the main artery of the central zoo and there is a HUGE crowd. The wave of people is all moving directly at us, and we realize the Zoo in fact is extremely crowded. The hardest part now is staying to the side of the main road to move against traffic.
When we finally get to the entrance, there is a HUGE line at the main ticket windows that stretches through ropes cutting back and forth, and then down the side of the road into the distance of the parking lot. The members table we had gone to now has 20 people filling out clipboards and a line of what looks like another 40 people.
I can't stop laughing. We're absolute morons and buy some stroke of luck we managed to make the perfect Zoo run on what looks like a crazy day.
Judge Mark H. Summerville from a Boston Municipal Court actually has his head in the right place. The legal ramifications of this point of view are incredible. Not only is the photo itself a form of expression but the act of making it is as well.
