Monkeys!!!

This last Saturday was one of my top two most amazing days in Japan so far! I had a fabulous time biking to Arashiyama and visiting the monkey park there. I loved everything about going there...well, okay, monkey poo smells a little weird and there was plenty of that around, but hey, what do you expect?

Walking around outside, we were right with the monkeys, lots of them! Inside the building we could purchase small bags of apples, peanuts, or chestnuts and feed monkeys through the fence. They would take the items right from my hands and I could feel their soft palms and see the finger-print style lines on their hands. I bought about 7 small bags of food as it was so delightful to feed them. I'll add more photos later, but here are a few favorites for now. (Edited with some more photos now.)
