Monkey Island

We took a boat ride on Lago de Catemaco today to visit Isla de los Monos (Monkey Island). The sixty monkeys were brought from Thailand as a research project by the University of Veracruz and are fed and protected by the university. Contrary to the wishes of the university, some unscrupulous tour operators are feeding the monkeys to allow for better photos. Hector, our boat operator and guide, is not one of these. I still got a couple of photos.
