Due to my lack of blogging activity one can assume that I have been really lazy or really busy. It has been the later. My beloved in-laws came and visited us for Christmas and New Years and we had a blast with them here. Now, I can show you a little bit of what we saw together while they were here.
One week ago, on New Years Day, we joined a small tour boat to go see wild orangutans living in their natural environment. It was really cool!
This particular group was enjoying their breakfast when we approached them from the river. They seemed to hardly care that they were being watched.
It was amazing seeing these ultra large mammals very high up in the trees. Watching them swing and sway effortlessly was a special thing to watch.
This orangutan was named Bobo. He was the dominant male and was very large. We all felt very privileged to see these animals in their native environment. There are only a few places left on Earth that you can see wild orangutans and we just happen to live about 15 miles from them. Very cool!
