The coolest part of our morning excursion was the WILD MONKEYS!!! No cage. No fence. Just wild monkeys everywhere! I can't imagine you've ever seen anything quite like this! They were running, jumping, and patiently waiting along the base of the mountain for tourists to feed them peanuts. A local vendor conviently had a peanut stand set up nearby....and Jenesa bravely risked getting rabies from these wild Chinese monkeys for this wonderful photo-op.
While Jenesa marched right up to these monkeys....I played it safe - at a distance - and practiced using the zoom on my camera. I spotted several monkeys carrying around young babies. These baby monkeys would ride along with their mothers on her belly as she moved around the mountain-side. I managed to zoom in at just the right time to capture a picture worthy of National Geographic....and it didn't even cost me a peanut!
