Baboons!

So, the week after we fed our little monkeys, we wanted to go back for more. Renee from Mawuvio's Outreach Program told me about Shai Hills, a nature reserve that has rock climbing, camping, kilometers of trails, a bat cave, and baboons. No one was up for a long weekend trip again, but Marianne, Lianne, and I thought we would go up for the day and check it out.

When we got off the tro-tro, there were baboons wandering around the roadside, scoping us out. The guide later said they like to cross the road and steal food from the vendors and school kids, then run back onto the reserve where they know no one will follow. Adorable little thieves.


Baboon butts are really gross.

As we walked through the reserve, we came across ostriches!




Ostriches make it clear that birds descended from dinosaurs.


We also visited the bead market that day, and I got a ton of beads so we can make stuff when I get home!
