Lexington....Day 2 (July 7, 2017)

 Second day of the Lexington, VA visit. Got to do a little looking around the city...there is a lot to see and do there.
I wanted to get a photo of this building which dates to 1790 and is one of the oldest remaining in Lexington. Many of the buildings were lost in a fire some years ago, but even those are from the early 1800's. This though was a law office. Different firm but still is today as well. I love exploring this city to see the many sights.

 Made a visit to Virginia Safari Park in nearby Natural Bridge VA. Amazing place. It is a drive through zoo. Had never done this, but Debbie thought it would be a good idea.
Turned out to be a great idea. The animals are mostly out in the open. Few exceptions such as Giraffe, Zebras, Hippos but a lot of interesting creatures.
I got to feed this fallow deer which as many did come right up to your car...

...or sometimes in it as was the case with this Bison. Glad I did'nt but the guide book said (as I noted later) in big letters "DO NOT FEED PET OR TOUCH ZEBRAS, BISON OR WATUSI CATTLE".
I have seen them in zoo's and even have some Bison here in Richmond at Maymont Park, but THIS is my closest encounter ever. Amazing creature and was a real thrill!

There was also this Elk which was beautiful and a bit on the huge side. I have to say this was a wonderful visit to this park and in a future visit (via car, doubt motorcycles are permitted..and you would have to be nuts to attempt it if you could) would make this a stop.
Very cool thing to have and like that most of the animals are wide open. Got a lot of land to roam and that is pretty neat.
Got back to Richmond later that day and have to say it was a wonderful trip!
