Primate or Not a Primate?

In case you're among those who have referred to our Tobie as a monkey before - here we can help you out.  Though, we agree Tobie does, in fact, squeal like a monkey, eat like a monkey (notice coconut), and yes, walk on all fours like a monkey, he is not actually a monkey.  This friendly monkey you see pictured here was kind enough to join us for dinner last evening in a nearby tree.  He, is a monkey.  Tobie, is not.  But we are still not completely convinced.  The monkeys and Bush Babies (very elusive!  Thus, no pictures!) are heard swinging through the trees over our bandas in each evening.

The sunset occurred at 6:19pm in Fumba, and brought a stunning conclusion to a very busy day on the ocean, snorkeling, swimming, sailing and meeting new friends.  See pictures on our facebook pages.
Tomorrow we depart Fumba and Zanzibar, and head back to Dar Es Salam for one more night before heading to Iringa.  We are enjoying these days of rest and adventure before the busy (a relative term in Africa) pace of school and teaching and preaching begin on October 8 at Tumaini.

  1. I'm so happy for this clarification. Miss you, Tobie! You are the closest thing we have to a monkey around here.... ;)
