Snow Monkey

Another stormy day. What is going on? Crazy wind and rain is hitting hard again our house! Snoop is of course not pleased with this endless rain...

Today, I thought I would share a picture of a happy monkey in Japan. I read a news article about them this morning and I was so jealous. They are called "Snow Monkeys" who live in Jigokudani (Hell's Valley) Park, in Nagano Prefecture.

They enjoy bathing in traditional Japanese style "Onsen", an outdoor natural hot spring.

I don't need to explain much, just look at their faces...

"Ah, so peaceful...!"
