The sad Monkey.

We saw our first monkey here in Samara last night. We were just getting dropped off at our hotel by taxi from dinner and there it was, in the middle of the drive-way, just sitting there. Our driver honked, but it wouldn't move. He stopped and got out, and it didn't even run away. He thought that maybe it had fallen out of the tree and gotten hurt. He went over to the care-takers home and got a rake. He used it to try and get the monkey to hang out to the end. He wanted to at least get it off the road. The monkey had a hard time just holding on to the rake, and the driver told us that he probubly wouldn't make it through the night. He was the cutest, and saddest little thing in the whole world. Chris and Oscar went this morning to see if it in fact was still there, but it wasn't. Is this a good thing? Did it get away and is feeling better? We all hope so.
