the croc bank

This "little" fella is called Jaws III. The director of the croc bank insisted that he is a very sweet and gentle crocodile. We were treated to a tour of the croc bank in Chennai by two of the directors. Ashish, our travel agent and host in Chennai, has a connection at the croc bank; his father is one of the trustees. We enjoyed strolling through the place, learning about crocodiles from all over the world. We got to go into the "staff only" areas where they keep the baby crocs and turtles. There was only one American alligator at the place. The kids dashed from tank to tank, yelling with delight at the size or quantity if crocodiles, asking the experts fun "kid questions". After the croc bank, we went to Ashish's parents house for a home- cooked meal. The kids got to swim with his kids, similar in age as my boys. They really enjoyed watching Garrett eat seconds and thirds of everything! Eating a lot is always a good way to please an Indian host, we do pretty well in that department. We were so fortunate to spend our last day with Ashish and his family.
