Today takes us for a trip to the Atlanta Zoo to see the pandas. Atlanta have 4 pandas at the zoo which have been there since 1999 where Lun Lun and Yang Yang were put together to mate. They have now two more pandas. The zoo celebrated the birth of its first cub, Mei Lan, on September 6, 2006. Mei Lan was the only giant panda cub born in the U.S. that year. A second cub, male Xi Lan, born August 30, 2008, was the only giant panda cub born in the U.S. in 2008. A third cub, Po, was born 3 November 2010, the first panda born in the US during the 2010 calendar year.
It was beautiful weather and we had a fantastic few hours at the zoo before heading to see the home ground of the Atlanta Braves, Turner Field. We did a tour of the entire complex including the pitch, locker rooms, corporate boxes and media area. It would be awesome to see a game here with 30,000 fans cheering them on.
We headed out of town to Columbus Georgia in the afternoon as we head south to Miami. BTW the weather is magnificent.
