A much better shot of a spider monkey. More than one, actually (again, shows up better in larger format). There are a couple higher up in the tree, but if you look carefully, right in the center is a mother spider monkey toting her baby along with her. Really caught a break with this shot. The camera and I still need more time together, but grabbing a pic when these guys are on the move (mom doesn't slow down because junior is hanging on) is tough.

You didn't say you went to CR to visit relatives! Congrats!

Man Pac, you are slimming down. What's wrong, you not well?

Did you offer him a cigar?

Again?

#3 It's all that tree climbing. Good exercise.

#4 You don't want to get your hands anywhere near these guys.

Now that I know what you look like, I will try to find you at cfest if I make it up there.

Get your filthy paws off me!

I'm sure a banana joke would be ill-received...

^Yep. Bananas are not in the normal diet of any of the three monkey species found there, nor in the fourth found out on the West coast of the country (can't remember that species). At least, so the guides told us.
