Monkeys

Hola!

I saw monkeys today! We were sitting there eating breakfast and then we looked out the window and CHECK IT OUT there are Monkeys swinging around the trees! There were 6 white faced monkeys. The oldest male had a mean ole scowl on his face, but the rest looked friendly enough. there might be one that I can train up to be my butler after all. I just have to catch one first. I went out with some food to try and tempt them into coming closer. but they didnt pay attention to me enough- they were too busy watching all the kids inside watching them. I ran back to get a camera but was too slow. I am excited that we saw them around our center though because before that we hadn't caught a glimpse of them yet. There is a rumor around our neighborhood that one of the neighbors poisoned the troop of monkeys because they were a nuisance. Whatever they are so cool. I guess they steal stuff, even going into people's houses to grab things, and make a lot of noise. But that means that our local troop of 15-20 is now down to about 6. Bummer.

I am still having a great time. My ankle is almost all the way healthy. I still love the food. I havent even gotten sick of rice and beans yet (literally every meal).

Loving life without a care in the world,
Brian
