All three generations of us sat and watched- fascinated for near- ly half-an-hour, before the heat fin- ally drove us out into the fresh air.

They did not perform to any tent for us. Two lay asleep on their modernistic concrete ramp, two others walked up and down the steps with their stiff little shuffle, while the rest swam follow-the-leader in their aquamarine moat.

Another new building was a sereened round house divide into sections like a large pie, and hows- ing a variéty of birds. Between this building and the penguin pool, an- other very modernistic building was going up and I was told it would be an “other pool.
