Ankara Parks

Assalamu Alaykum world.  These are three parks we went to when we were in Ankara.  Ankara is the capital of Turkey.  I do not know the names of these parks. It's a 1 hour flight from Istanbul to Ankara or about 5 hours driving from Istanbul to Ankara.  There are also some pictures of us driving in Ankara to a couple malls.  Did I mention that there seems to be TV studios located by parks in Turkey?  It makes it very busy to try to get out of the parks in Ankara at night when you have to wait for buses to come out carrying people who work in the television studios.  I told Cinn he needs to work in a tv studio next to the bird park (the first park-I just call it the bird park because it has some birds).

Downtown Ankara:

The highway in Ankara circles it going west to east.  Really neat that you're actually driving through Ankara to get to the malls.  As you get close, you can see downtown Ankara in the distance.

A nice park full of ducks.  I didn't want to leave it.  

The container in the middle of the picture is what the ducks eat their food out of.

The Wilds

Assalaamu Alaykum world.  These were taken in June 2015 in Cumberland, OH at The Wilds.  I really enjoyed it.  We were supposed to go in an airconditioned bus but it wasn't running so we went into an open air bus instead. I also got a snow globe from The Wilds.  It has zebras on the outside with grass and a zebra inside. There is a plaque in the middle that says The Wilds on it.  It's what got me started on collecting snow globes.
