zoo, dandiyas, bindis, oh my!

We woke up bright and early on Sunday morning.  One of the former professor's in our dept relocated to Toronto last year.  I had been taking pictures for her for a couple of years, so when she found out that I was passing through town she asked if we could figure out a way to get together for a visit/session.  Her friend from Uni also wanted in on the pictures.  It ended up working out really well as my other friend Lynda had wanted to take the boys to Canada's Wonderland, which was not really the right place to take the girls; so off to the zoo we went.

Now, I don't really care for zoos - they're OK but I don't find them particularly exciting.  However, we were treated to one very cool sight, besides the giraffe with his slobbery black tongue.  While we were stopped at the gorilla enclosure, the baby started climbing up the fence.  When it got too high, both the Mama and the Dad swooped in to pull him down.  After having what can only be called a tantrum, Mama put Baby on the boob and after a few minutes she switched sides.  It was pretty neat to see Mama cradle the baby - the girls thought it was pretty trippy.

After we finished up at the zoo, we zipped over to Little India, where we shopped till we dropped, had some uber-yummy food, and picked up some super-sweet secondhand saris.  T grabbed some bindis, too, and so we went back to the apartment to have Indian Princess night, complete with make-up and Bollywood music.  We called it a night relatively early so we could head out to meet up with Lynda for Day 4 in Toronto.
