What do you mean you've never heard a spider monkey giggling?

VIP Member Michele Gawenka's life changed forever when she first saw a photograph of a rescued baby howler monkey in Costa Rica.

The life of her husband Paul has changed dramatically too…

While most gringos dream of a quiet retirement in Costa Rica with long walks on the beach and the occasional cocktail, Michele and Paul have become Monkey Mom & Dad…

While their friends are snoring away in their comfortable beds, Paul and Michele are getting up every few hours to feed their hungry, hairy 'babies' in the rescue center they started with the blessings of many and the permits in hand from the Costa Rican government…

You can see the giggling spider monkey video and read Michele Gawenka's article about: How I Got Monkey Fever in Costa Rica and How Infectious It Could Be For You! At:

I sent them US$100 to help take care of the baby moneys, perhaps you could too?  If you truly appreciate what they are doing, please contribute and if you use Facebook, spread the word by clicking if you 'Like' the article.

Hasta luego from your 'amigo' in Costa Rica - Perhaps your new home of stunning scenery, sunshine and smiles.

    In the jungle with the monkeys.

       Jane Goodall has always been my hero, and working with primates an aspiration.  Africa wasn't in the cards the summer I turned 16, when my parents offered to send me to volunteer,  and there was only one class (in physical anthro-pology) when I wanted to study primatology in college.  
         Decades later my husband and I retired in Costa Rica, and this is our journey with spider (and howler) monkeys.
