more fun than a barrel of monkeys…

…try a trashcan full from pao de açucar! the minute i heard there were monkeys here, i was on a mission to capture them on camera. the weather proved to be an obstacle not to mention the speed at which these little devils move but eventually i managed to snag footage at one of their favorite snack stops. at first i was disturbed by the idea of their eating human garbage but that hang up was quickly squelched when their numbers began to multiply. to say that marmosets are active is an understatement and there was nothing as preternatural as watching them leap sideways throughout the bamboo from stalk to stalk.

and, having obtained the primo spot on the front of the tram, we were able to grab a little video of our ascent up the mount. just for giggles!
