I had the joy of going to [Crocodile Park](https://crocodilepark.ph/) here in Davao City with @emafe, @zaclucas and a good amount of our family members. I got to see a monkey ride a bike, ducks marched in a parade, and I saw a crocodile whose mouth stayed open like a statue. My greatest joy was seeing @emafe's expressions during the animal talent show and seeing the pictures of @zaclucas floating in the arms of his Tatay above the coy fish. I also got to see Papa's reaction to the tall ostriches and I fed them myself with special food held in my hands. It's definitely a good experience to get up close and personal with these animals. Like all animals and babies they have a great amount of innocence, especially the friendly ones. I will try to visit more tourist sites and travel more often. That is one thing in life that is worth doing.
