First Friday Picture Show: Mr Macaque Visits Guam

Mr. Macaque, a distant cousin to the infamous Mystery Monkey of Tampa Bay, has long enjoyed frolicking about enjoying his freedom.  Born in captivity somewhere in Florida, he currently resides with his wife, Sassy, on the beautiful island of Guam.  Sassy is a doctoral candidate in anthropology, in Guam working on health-related research.  When he's not monkeying around, Mr. Macaque works for an on-island medical clinic doing medical information systems work.  In their spare time the lovely couple enjoys hiking, snorkeling, and fishing.  This is the first time Mr. Macaque has shown his photos to the public, and while he was in charge of choosing these scenic photos, Sassy, naturally, put her two cents in as well. Enjoy!

~ Bread Fruit ~

 These trees and their wonderful fruit are found all over the Pacific Islands.  Their preparation 

depends on each specific island.  Pohnpeins like to bbq them whole, while the Chuukese like to 

let them ferment in the ground until the flesh becomes the consistency of a runny cheese.
