On New Year's Day, LOML and I went back to Central Park to see the zoo and go ice-skating. The zoo was just fantastic, particularly the amazing Tropic Zone (which was nice and warm, too), but the rink was far too crowded with far too long a queue for us to go skating. Oh well! It started raining shortly after that, anyway, so we consoled ourselves with hot dogs from a street vendor, which has always seemed like an essential New York experience to me. We finished the day with a visit to FAO Schwarz and a walk down 5th Avenue, followed by a few slices of pizza.

Look at the wee mongooses! They were so cute. A mongoose lived at the bottom of our garden in Zimbabwe, by the compost heap, and helped to keep the snakes away from our chicken coop. I love them. Can you see the little one poking its head out from under the biggest one's tail?
Sea lions! We watched one of them climb down from the rock for about twenty minutes. He was not really designed for climbing.
