I know, I know. It's been too long since my last post, but I have been out and about, traveling, writing, and planning to do more traveling and writing. I discovered a great little city, Knoxville, on one of my trips, and although the article won't come out for months, it's worth mentioning because I had so much fun.
Knoxville Tourism and Sports Corporation invited a group of journalists to experience the Dogwood Arts Festival, and on one day, I got to experience behind-the-scenes at the Knoxville Zoo, which included feeding this hungry giraffe here (as you can see, I am holding out the food as far away from my body as possible). We also got to hang out with red pandas and tour the facility in a golf cart, which now, frankly, is my preferred method of travel.
But feeding giraffes is not only for the travel journalist. The zoo offers Animal Encounters where you, too, can be amazed at how much bamboo a skinny giraffe can eat. As for me, I will stick with the Red Panda named Chewbacca. His napping is just my style.
