going to the zoo

we have been meeting together in various places, our homes, the beach, tropical smoothie, maclay gardens, but one of the best has been the zoo. There is something about going to the zoo that brings all kinds of people together. Families go, people young and old go, whether you are from the city or not going to the zoo is something that people do. why is it? often i have heard of people who have been going through a difficult time in their life one of the things they do is go to the zoo. why is the zoo relaxing? what are we drawn to about the zoo? what life experiences can we draw from the zoo?
