MONKEYS!

Woke up yesterday morning to a pack of about twenty monkeys in the mango tree behind my room. They annoy half the other residents but I think they're awesome. So, yes Dad, I got them on film for you ;) crazy monkeys! Check out the pictures online. In other events its back to class after a lovely spring break. My dance class is so much fun though, African drumming and dancing, I'm loving it. I'm doing a lot of research on HIV/AIDS policy for a couple of papers, and thoroughly enjoying the company of my friends at UKZN, they're amazing! I've just been connected with both an orphanage and a township that I will hopefully get to start volunteering in soon. Just tough to get around when its not safe to walk and there's no reliable public transport. Sigh. But I'm going to tag along with friends to go, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Gotta love them monkeys. Saw a bunch out here this weekend myself; do they bust into people's homes and raid people's refridgerators there too?
