MONKEYS

Here is one of the promised monkey pictures!


This is one of the vervet monkeys that wandered around the
lodge we stayed at for our first nights in Zambia.
There were tons of them around the lodge, and they
were a mischievous bunch.
Anytime they saw humans with food they would come very
close and try to get it from you. One afternoon when we
were eating lunch we noticed an adorable little monkey
in the tree above us. He was sitting right over Corey's head,
and before anyone knew what was going on he had pooped
right on Corey's head and on the lemon garnish on his
plate. Corey jumped out of his chair right away, and
the monkey moved to a branch that was directly over my
head. I made it out of my chair just in time to avoid getting
pooped on, and he got my empty chair instead. The crafty monkey
continued to move to a different branch to get ready to drop
another present, but we scared him away before he got a chance.
The clever guy almost got a free lunch for himself and his buddies.
Almost... :)




I love you guys!
