Prayer time


Behind our bunkhouse I would go here to have my quiet time. I kept my eyes open though hearing of a baboon sighted there the day before. BTW, they hire people full time as whale watchers, shark watchers, and baboon watchers. At times, the baboons will come down in packs out of the mountains to raid the homes. So they will sound an alarm for everyone to bring their children inside, close the windows and lock the doors. The baboons identify people with food. They ransack people's homes if they get in and the Alpha male has teeth like a tiger. As we were driving along one day, we saw a pack of baboons on the side of the road with their babies dangling from their backs. There was a man coming up behind them with a slingshot. The baboons are trouble!
