At the Parliament Buildings they have a stray cat sanctuary that they keep and feed these cats, racoons, and squirrels all year round. I got an awesome video of a racoon eating out of a catfood dish and lots of pictures of a squirrel joining the picnic lunch we had outside.
I got tons of pictures of the inside of the Parliament building --- the tower was closed so we couldn't go up and see that. They have the coolest library in there and only members of the Parliament are allowed to use it. I found a fossil in one of the limestone walls. The tour guide said that there were a ton of fossils in the walls --- just had to look for them. I am not sure if she meant the Senate or actual fossils in the walls! I did find an actual fossil though - IN the wall!
There were a ton of statues all over the Parliament grounds and mom was determined to take of ton of pictures of these.
We ate our picnic lunch that we had packed with us outside on the picnic tables -- a squirrel really wanted to join our table but finally decided that the closest he was going to come to any food from anyone was the garbage can! Mom really had a jump when she went to throw her apple out. The squirrel was down inside the garbage can and mom didn't know this --- I did --- the squirrel jump out of the garbage can right when mom threw out her apple core and the squirrel almost landed on mom. I tried to get a picture of it but mom had jumped out of the picture. It was really funny -- guess you had to be there. I laughed so hard --- mom finally did too when she realized what it was that had jumped out of the garbage can!
