Monkeys!

....are sooo funny. We fed them some peanuts at the Monkey Temple in Jaipur. They were also at Ranthambore National Tiger Reserve, jumping around and shaking the trees so that twigs and debris fell on us... silly monkeys. It was a fun weekend, Court got some sparkly things and we went on our first little safari. Seeing peacocks, monkeys, antelope and boar in their natural habitat was amazing. We did not see a tiger, but that was to be expected. There are only 26 tigers in the park, and the area where visitors are allowed to go only covers about 40%. Basically we had about a 5% chance of seeing a tiger in the three hours we were in the park, based on what the other tourists were telling us (they had gone on 4 trips into the park and had not seen one yet). Jaipur was interesting although not as exciting as Jodhpur and Jaisalmer. Except for the monkeys! They were hilarious, and experience them taking food from your hand was really fun. Seems like such a simple joy I know, but it was great. We have some pics and a couple videos of them romping around and play fighting, soon to be posted. I have some interesting ideas for commentary that I'll make some time for later this week.
