Monkeys!

Sorry, this is a short one. But I'm busy reading and packing as we are heading "into the field" tomorrow with a researcher named Stan. Our group will travel up to his research station with him tomorrow afternoon and start a Proboscis monkey survey at around 4:30. We will spend the night at the station and wake up around 4:30 the next morning to do another survey. We will be doing it from boat as the monkeys prefer to slumber in the trees along the edges of the mangrove waterways.
I'll try and snap some pictures of these "Dutchmen Monkeys". (Named so because of their huge noses and pot bellies... apparently all Dutchmen have similar characteristics?!)
