Fun at Ueno Park Zoo

It is "Golden Week" in Japan, a series of national holidays that pretty much means nearly everyone is off work for the better part of a week.  We got to join in the fun and went to Ueno Park Zoo.  It was very crowded, but fortunately, there were plenty of places to escape to a little bit of peace and beauty.  The zoo has old fashioned (translation, small) enclosures for the animals, so we felt pretty sorry for them, but the grounds were absolutely beautiful.
