Primates Are Our Mates

Another week has gone by and we have worked mostly at the Rescue Centre. We had a heavy week of rain but a beautiful day on the beach yesterday. When the sun is out here it's pretty hot so a couple of hours on the beach is enough to fry even us sun worshippers. Here is a video of one day last week when we were in the monkey cages so you can see what they are really like. (Having trouble with video upload but working on it!) For those of you on facebook you can see it there.

Today Rene has taken a bus to San Jose, the capital city to pick up Julia from the airport tonight. It's technically not that far away but the bus takes 4 - 5 hours because the roads are not exactly great here. Hopefully she will land safe this evening and Rene will bring her down here tomorrow for her three week holiday. We think she will love it here especially when she gets to meet all the animals!

So today I went to work on my own and was in charge of the afternoon in the jungle shift. This entails watching the monkeys play in the tree's until they are tired then they insist on a sleep on the blanket. The ones pictured here are all aged between 3 months and 2 years old, are all orphans and gradually being rehabilitated back into the wild with our daily jungle trips!
