The other day about 20 minutes from our house Craig was driving with a friend when he came upon a police car parked on the side of the road.
Now police check points are nothing new here (we've seen three in the past two days) but this was odd in that it was seriously in the middle of nowhere.
So when they got close they realized the policemen were feeding the monkeys bananas. Which is a great idea for monkey viewing since we have taken the kids there before and not seen any primates at all.
So the policemen (being all about service and the public) shared their bananas and talked about the stress-relieving benefits of monkey-feeding. Who knew?!?
Once all the bananas were depleted and people were tired of standing in the blazing hot November sun, everyone decided it was time to go.
But then came the best part. One policeman took the banana stalk and threw it into the vegetation along the side of the road. Which seems fine since its technically biodegradable. Then he took the plastic bag and threw it into the weeds, too!!
Then it was time to get back to work.

I feed two monkeys every night. Those look quite a bit cleaner than mine. Hum...
