Monkey Mountain

Well, I just posted one photo, but since it's been forever and since I have a tonne of pictures, why not one more?
Near Beppu there's a big mountain, and on that mountain live a colony of monkeys. They're really cute, and last year during September LeeSean and I went to check them out. There's hundreds of them, swarming all over the place, so it's a bit intimidating. There's also lots of signs saying not to feed the monkeys, make sudden movements toward the monkeys, look directly at the monkeys, or pretty much think about monkeys in any way. You wonder what the monkeys have done to warrant this level of caution. They didn't bug us though, and we got lots of good pictures. Although they did make several children cry by stealing their ice cream cones...always funny!!
