I love it when the signage tells you what you need to know!

As I mentioned earlier, this is the place I want to keep track of. There are places where I can easily get turned around.

When visiting my son and his family in Los Angeles, we always went to the zoo. They only lived about 15 minutes away. I could get turned around so quickly there.

Fortunately, they have signs that look a lot like this. Of course, they have signs that tell you other things you need to find, like popcorn and primates.

When Farmhand 1 was about three, we were at the Los Angeles Zoo. He was so into animals and knew a lot about them. We were watching the orangutans, and a dad told his son, “Look at the monkey.”

Farmhand 1 would say, “It’s not a monkey; it’s a primate.”

This exchange was repeated about five times from both sides until he lost patience and yelled at the dad, “IT’S A PRIMATE.”
