MONKEY MOUNTAIN

In Alsace, about an half hour drive from Colmar, there is a place called "La Montagne des Singes" or Monkey Mountain.  I am kind of obsessed with monkeys, so this place is literally a dream come true.  My friend who is in the army and stationed in Germany came to visit over the weekend.  Since he shares a similar love for monkeys, it seemed necessary to get a group together to head up to the mountain over the weekend.  There are over 300 monkeys roaming around in a huge park, and you are free to feed them popcorn.  It is so funny watching these little guys!   I think it was mating season, because these were some frisky little monkeys.  We were walking down the path and 2 brawling monkeys fell on the ground out of a tree, practically landing on us.  Then one of them proceeded to paw at my friends arm.  So entertaining.  Here are some pics of a real dream come true..
