Japan tidbit 2 - Monkeys!

One of our favorite days in Japan included visiting a large open air sanctuary for Japanese macaques, the same monkeys that lounge around in hot springs.

This sanctuary had no monkey hot tubs; it was cold and rainy and the spa-loving monkeys were often huddled together for warmth.

We had a great time, though, because they were very tame and unperturbed by our avid photography, even when we got quite close.
