We spent eight hours today hiking through the forest, and still no luck. The monkeys remain evasive. However, Dave and I did spot a sweet snake:
And get this great view:
We ate at a cafe on the main street of Azrou for dinner because we were too exhausted to cook. The downtown streets are lined with cafes and shops, and at night it becomes a very chaotic scene, as hundreds of people stream down the sidewalks to purchase things from shops which were closed during the day for Ramadan, and also simply to take a stroll and run into friends.
Chris got some tips on where to find the monkeys from a researcher who worked with this group before, and we're going to try some new spots tomorrow.
Sleepy.

ReplyDeleteNice snake.
ReplyDeleteLove the updates & the pics. Keep them coming.
Watch out for snakes, though.
Dad
And good luck findin' the monkeys!
ReplyDeleteThe search for the monkeys is becoming very suspenseful (already after just a few days) for me as a blog watcher. Your discovery of a pointy-headed snake just makes it that much more exciting! I imagine it as one of those oversized clip art graphics in a maze - Help Michael (and Chris and Dave) get to the monkeys without running into snakes, uncontrolled traffic, or post-Ramadan revelries! Quick success and best wish.
ReplyDeleteOk, now I know how the call that you're in the hospital will go. "Michael got bit by a snake" "What?!" "Well, he did say it was a pretty "sweet snake.""
ReplyDeleteps
eventually I'll get over the I don't like you being so far away thing and post more positive comments.
