The Marching "Band" at Busch Gardens. Brass and drums. They are at the opening gate and through out the park during the day. 
Tut's Tomb. a realistic replication of Kind Tut's burial site as it was being excavated in the 1920's. this is in the Egypt section of the park. It is on the way to one of the roller coasters and the sky ride. We do the sky ride not the roller coaster. This was interesting.

There are 3 layers to the tomb. the one King Tut is supposedly in, then a second gold "casket" and then a third huge gold one. Impressive. 
We are in the Nairobi section of the park at Rhino Rally ride. This is a 16 passenger vehicle that looks like it is going into the wall in this picture. So many of the rides that have a person explaining what is going on, is only as good as the person doing the talking. Today we had a good guy. His co-pilot was about 10. Josh.
When we came to this water the "jeep" gets stuck in the water. A water fall on one side and a "river" on the other. All of a sudden you break loose (see the darker drums) and you go careening down the river. almost running into a wall, or a water fall, or over a dam, what ever. We all had smiles afterward as our "guide" made it fun.
Another section of the track or road that the jeep goes on during the Rhino Rally ride. You also see some of the animals along the way and "Captain" told some stories about them also. Not all true, but everyone knew the difference. Even the children knew.
John Davidson. He is 69. Still sings as well, or better than he did in the 60's. Had the crowd singing and laughing. Altho the laugh was on him at one point. He had a man from the audience up on stage with him. To sing along. He wasn't bad. Anyway he happened to be an attorney. so when he was asked if this was his house. He sang This is my home. He was told. Just answer the questions. So when Davidson said. I have been in your home, on your sofa with your wife kissing her for 3 hours. Now what do you say. The man answered "that will be $300" The look on Davidson's face was priceless and the crowd roared. And the band really cracked up, so we figureed it was not planned. When he left the stage later, he said as he was going out. And I had to pick an attorney!
this pretty guy is a Saddle Nosed Pelican. Check his legs. They are bent FORWARD at the knee. The Flamingos also rest this way. And the Flamingos are ange or pink because of all the shrimp they eat. They look orange to me, but some say pink. Look at an older blog and see what you think.
They are white when they are born. or hatched.
Weaser, Betty, Doug, and I. At our park. They were here for 3 nights. Betty won way easily at Mexican train. good time.
