Columbia

Ferguson home
As Luke is visiting his hometown we have been visiting his favourite haunts. This has continued my education in American food, dining on buffalo wings covered in every conceivable sauce, chilli dogs and homemade southern delights like Jumbalaya which is a yummy cajun version of a paella.

Yesterday we went to the Columbia zoo and botanic gardens which sit on the banks of the river. It is a reasonable zoo with a good reptile sectionand a couple of grizzlies. The botanic gardens are landscaped for a small but pretty section and then grow into a forest by the river with walking trails which was a pleasant way to spend a spring afternoon.
