A day off...

I'm up too early with too much on my mind these days, but I do enjoy catching the sun rising and the glow of a fresh new day.

I spent the better part of my day running around Kampala and enjoyed stopping mid-way for a coffee break at mishmash. Resting, regrouping and rehydrating mid-way through is necessary for a productive day of errands. (And it was!!) (Productive that is.)

Back home this afternoon... the monkeys are enjoying the guava tree again. I was trying to catch the mama monkey with her brand new out-utero baby wrapped around her middle, but she was refusing to still still long enough. I DID manage to catch this fellow mid-flight to the ground though. (I really wish I could hit pause and go and inspect the little things clinging to their moms. Are they just holding so tightly to tufts of fir with their hands and feet? How does it not fall off as its mom flings herself though the air, 50 feet up? When do they get too big for her front, and have to rotate to the back? I'm so intrigued and wish I could get a better view... and photo for that matter.)

I'm totally digging my friday off-- and the whole weekend still stretched ahead of me!
