July 18th, 2011 Sophie's Cafe and Willowbank Wildlife Preserve

Today, we ate breakfast at our hotel but then walked to Sophie's Cafe for some hot (and a cold) drink(s). Here, my dad bought a latte, my mom bought a mocha, my brother got hot chocolate, and I got a caramel milkshake. The latte was super bitter, the mocha was bitter, and the hot chocolate was bland, and the milkshake was delicious. Not to sweet and not to bland. The milkshake actually looked very stereotypical but actually tasted extraordinary.

Yum!!!
The main highlight of the day was going to a zoo-like place called Willowbank Wildlife Preserve. This place was awesome since they let you buy some animal food and let you feed and pet certain animals! Once you step out of the visitor center, you see other people feeding the eels and the birds. The eels are fed with some unknown meat and the ducks and black swans (The swans are mean! They pecked my finger when I was trying to feed it!) were fed with tiny pellets of matter.
The next animal we saw were all these deer and more ducks. These deer were so cute and would lick the food right out of your hand!! Even though most of the deer were used to being near people, there was this one white deer that would never come near us. Since writing all of the animals and what we did would take forever, I'm just going to write down a list. If you want pictures, click here or go to the Willowbank Wildlife Preserve page.
