Taming a wild beast!

While most of you East-Coast suckers braved rain and snow this past weekend, I spent my time zipping around Florida on two-wheels (Bike Week).

This is like Spring Break for old people. Men wear t-shirts with logos that would make high school boys giggle. Women (often in their 40s and 50s) wear outfits that belong in a strip-show (I'll hold back my stories of horror).

But in a little corner, we found a group that rescues wild animals (from illegal zoos, etc) and takes them to animal refuges. They had some of the "wild beasts" there and were letting people take pictures. None of the animals were more than a few months old. They had bears (could fit in the palm of your hand), lions, white tigers, and wolves. My sister and I took a picture with a White Tiger. He liked to lay on his back and have you rub his belly. And if you put your finger in his mouth he would suck on it like a pacifier. It was pretty cool.
