St. Kitts!

It's all monkey business down here in St. Kitts! The green velvet monkey was brought to the island as pets for plantation owners. Eventually they would escape and today there's a healthy population living in the rain forest.
Locals now hire professional monkey hunters to capture the animals and help tame them. Once brought into captivity they receive proper vaccinations and make really great family pets! I tried to talk Sasha into buying me one-- the boat needs it! It would really help with marketing.. right?

We spent most of the day taking a tour around the island, this place is beautiful!
