Oh my god! Oh my god! I went for a hike today with some members of the group and we had a face off with some howler monkeys! And arenal erupted this morning when we were on it's slope! This is probably the greatest day ever!
We were walking over a suspension bridge and Mike was leading the way. He stopped us to show us that there was a monkey on the bridge. Well, it turns out there was a family of howlers that were crossing the bridge and coming right at us! Kathryn and Michelle were taking photos, I was, too, and I was trying to take video as well. They walked over the bridge and right overhead! I almost wet myself! There were 5 of them plus a baby! I wish I could post pictures right now! I got a video of the last monkey of the group coming over. Josephine kept saying, "keep your mouth closed!". It was amazing. We had a standoff with the monkeys and I think they respect us more now for holding our ground!
I am insanely jealous of you! You were on a suspension bridge?!?!? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe day sounded fantastic.
