Post-Heat Wave

My excuse this time is that I spent the weekend recovering from the heat and humidity induced coma.
I spent a week of 90+ degree heat and at least 80% humidity with the orangutans again. They are particularly funny because the family that grew up here (Boomer, Kutai, Bajik, and Khali) love playing in the water. They play in their pools and we sprayed them with hose misters at some of the roof feeds everyday. It was hilarious to watch them enjoy their little shower. Kutai has what the keepers call a "water dance." When she gets very excited about playing in the water, she taps her feet on whatever she's standing on and everyone likes to rub up against the mesh to get your attention saying their turn now please! They also found it very amusing to hold onto the end of the mister with their lips and then squirt us back.

Over the weekend I found a cute little coffee shop to hang out in and spent some time on our balcony once the storms cooled the weather somewhat.

Now this week I'm starting to float to whatever section wants my help for the day.

I can't believe there is only two weeks left!
