On Sunday I go on safe outings with a colleague: taking a taxi to the Botanical Garden and the Zoo. The botanical garden is very naturally laid out, and is therefore a good place to watch birds again. If we get there early, there are more guards than visitors. It will be necessary. The zoo is a place to see animals that you would not normally see in the wild, such as the Condor.
