Monkey Island

After much work, we headed back to Monrovia with a stop at Monkey Island, a group of islands on Farmville River that house former monkeys that were used for medical research. Now, they live a posh life of pineapple, coconut, cassava and peanuts, milk and cake, all which are brought to them every other day. It was so crazy to see them so close! All have names (the oldest is 47 named Annie) and all are afraid of water and cant swim so stay put. They were so close, seriously no more than 10 feet away!
