Snow Monkeys

On Sunday , we took a day trip to see the snow monkeys.

The brochure give this about the mountain and the monkeys. Jigokudani is located in a mountainous area in approximately the center of Japan. Jigokudani Monkey park is located in the valley of Yokoyu-River that flowing from Shigakogen area of the northern part of Nagano=Prefecture. At 850 meters in elevation, it is a harsh environment where snow covers the ground for one-third of the year.

People Called Jigokudani (Hell's Valley) because they can see the spectacle that looks like the hell that steep cliff, spring out boiling water from the surface of the earth. but this place is a paradise for monkeys. Two groups of monkeys are living in naturally at present. (http://www.jigokudani-yaenkoen.co.jp/) They also have a live monkey camera, where you can go online and watch them bathing in the hot springs.

I just found out that I made the Dean's list at school. And just finished up a computer class and getting ready to start a Sociology class on the third.
