monkey island

we arrived in sanya yesterday.... lets just say getting here was interesting.. involving a ten hour sleeper bus and some more buses..a ferry... and thank goodness for a lady who travelled with us that spoke english.

so yesterday we just explored the city to see what it had to off. we found some markets and a huge mall and a strip of booths.

but today... we went to MONKEY ISLAND!!
its everything the name says it was. an island with monkeys on it. we took a cable car up to it. we were surrounded by gorgeous mountains and palm trees. and the monkeys were everywhere! they'd walk by you, they'd come and just sit next to you, they'd jump out of the bushes, they'd just be sitting there. but you had to make sure they werent the grumpy ones...haha. i had one swat at my camera because i got too close. but most of them were just chill and the babies were SOOO cute. we watched a circus show and an acrobat show, those were def interesting. but it was way cool and the island was BEAUTIFUL!
it was just an awesome day.

OH MY GOSH!!!! those monkey pictures are hilarious!!! they made me laugh really hard. espeically the ones with monkeys on top of goats. who in the heck saw monkey and goats... and thought of putting them together in order to entertain large groups of people?! and those little baby monkeys were very very cute. you should have put one in your purse. and who would have thought that jessica would have gotten close enough for a monkey to swat at her... there were no signs of that at home (ahem turbo and peter!)

Lucky! I seriously laughed out loud. I ask the question Megan asked about goats & monkeys. Who'd a thunk it?
