Chiquito's breakfast.
Clockwise from banana:
Banana.  Mamon.  Naranjilla.  Mango.  Cas.  Papaya. 
Red Cylon peach in the center.

    Chiquito's "favorite food" changes weekly as new fruits show up at the weekly farmer's market and others disappear.  He loves having choices in his breakfast bowl.  So I'm freezing what I think will be good thawed during the rainy season, when there's far less available.   
(The vendors at the farmer's market must wonder about the Gringa with eclectic taste...)

    In the jungle with the monkeys.

    Michele Gawenka 

       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.
