There is a trail in the zoo, called the Marco Polo Trail. I think the idea is to see some of the things Marco Polo might have seen on his travels. (Maybe a bit of shake here.) It was very dark inside the building and I didn't want to use flash because it would have taken away from the general appeal of the scene

This was an exhibit inside the building

This is courtyard that led to the building

There were all kinds of paintings and murals on the wall. Below are some of the "window" paintings and murals

Note: Thanks for all of your comments and for taking the time to stop by. Mom is still here, so my time is limited.

In response to a couple of comments about yesterday's post - Yes, the turtle was real. I agree that it looks like it's made of wood. Even seeing it up close it seemed that way.

And thanks for the thoughts about the leopard, too. I have mixed feelings about the white spots of light in the background. I think it's a bit silly looking, but then again, when I look at the larger version on my computer, the spot of light gives the picture some depth. I have no idea what I'll decide. ;-)
