It's Important to Make New Friends - The Furry Kind

We made some friends today in Sri Lanka while we were on a river safari.  These friends were the furry kind and so amazing.  This is only a handful of the wonderful wildlife we saw.  I will have to share more photos later.  The bear monkey was the hands down favorite and Abbey just cannot understand why we can't take him back to Qatar with us. 


A Very Serious Bear Monkey We Met at the Fish Hatchery



Monkey Cuddles are REALLY Wonderful!








This giant squirrel was very comfortable in the Buddist temple we visited.

This is a water monitor and looks like a miniature alligator and isn't so furry, but I had to include him.  I don't know what you think, but I think he is pretty efficient at his job.  I would NOT get in the water with him slithering around.

So cool! I saw a stray cat in Centennial, CO today, so I am kind of having cool adventures, too. . . Actually, I just wish I were there with you!

What took you to Sri Lanka? That monkey is adorable. Not so sure about that water monitor. That tongue gives me the creeps! What adventures you guys are having!
