Sunday was also Mother's Day here in The Netherlands. Jon and Greyson decided they wanted to make me pancakes for breakfast--not realizing how difficult it would be to find the ingredients. It seems the Dutch don't use baking soda to bake. So our pancakes weren't very fluffy; but they were actually pretty good. We decided to head to the Rotterdam Zoo to celebrate. So we took a quick ride on the train to Rotterdam to go to the Diergaarde Blijdorp (The Rotterdam Zoo and Aquarium.) This zoo is over 150 years old. The zoo'a original location was destroyed (along with most of Rotterdam's center city) by the Germans in World War II. The zoo has been at this location since shortly after the war ended. It was sunny and tad bit warmer than it had been. It was a typical zoo, divided up into the different continents. Greyson seemed to have a really good time. He especially liked the meerkats, sea lions, and the penguins!
