Happy New Year!

Me and Mr. Young feeding the monkeys bananas.


I spent the last day of 2006 holding hands with a monkey. PERFECT!

We went to the Community Baboon Sanctuary where there are about 4,000 black howler monkeys living on land voluntarily preserved by community members. The man with me is my new co-worker's dad. Colin, the ecologist I co-teach sustainable development with, grew up by the Baboon Sanctuary. His dad leads tours, and knows everything about the jungle--even what plants to rub on the huge red bites on my legs to make them stop itching!
