Monkeys on Babar Road (19 February 2006)

Last night was a sad night. We took Lee to the airport and said goodbye. She is probably close to Newark now, having been in the air while we slept all night and spent the morning at a garden in Delhi. Each goodbye gets a little harder, but each gets us a little step closer to home.

This morning's surprise on Babar Road was monkeys! We see monkeys around town from time to time but had never seen any right here. The top photo is two on the balcony of the house across the street. The middle photo is the baby in the branches of our peepal tree (just today we finally identified the species of that tree we have been looking at for almost 4 months, and its a peepal tree). The bottom photo is another moneky who jumped out of the tree and onto the balcony next door. They didn't come right onto our balcony, probably because Dave was standing there in his pajamas with the camera. And as some of you know, that's not a pretty sight. :)
