Vietnamese Vets Save Monkeys -- Cuc Phong National Park, near Ninh Binh, Vietnam
(writing from Luang Prabang, Laos)
Correction -- yesterday's post confused Tom Coc park with Cuc Phong park. Tom Coc equals caves on a river, Cuc Phong is monkeys.

Our second day in Ninh Binh Ninh Binh (since that bus ride, I will always say the town's name twice...) we rented a car and driver and visited the Cuc Phong National Park, an hour out of town. They have a monkey sanctuary where Vietnamese vets (ha!) rehabilitate monkeys recovered from poachers. The Chinese pay good money for monkey brains, a delicacy in Yunnan Province across the northern border. This photo shows a five colored langur, a thinking being happily not being served.

A few other pics -- we hiked through a loop in the jungle and saw an old tree...

a cave... and a lizard.
