Adventures at the sanctuary

We woke up on Sunday morning, ready to take Charlie (the baby howler monkey that had been thrown out of his troop and badly injured) out to his tree and spend the morning letting him climb around......Well, that didn't quite go as planned.  We had forgotten the back gate key so I had turned back to go get it when I happened to look in the rabbit enclosure.......What a wake up call!!!!

After catching this "lovely" 7-8 foot monster...and discovering a smaller partner in crime in another corner, it was time for breakfast.  Charlie has found that he has a liking for dulce de leche empanadas...who wouldn't!  He decided what was mine was definitely his!

Once Breakfast was done, we had to dust Charlie off and let him have his first outing into the trees of the sanctuary.......he did very well!

Checking out the vines

 Eating some leaves.....Thinking about heading of the property....there is a whole world out there to discover!

That came the next day!  Let me tell you how fun it is to chase down a foolish howler that isn't content to hang out in a bunch of cool trees.....no, he wants the ones at the other end of the pasture by the creek.  Nobody explained that Howlers weren't supposed to walk on the ground.....especially with their eyes shut as they travel through tall grass.....FOOL!

Later that night, Kristin, Alejandro, Edwin and I all went down to a friend's house for a pot luck dinner

Got some gorgeous shots of the beach at dusk

We even had a little friend come to dinner
