Happy Independence Day!

 Kari, the apprentices, and interns before dinner

The Jungle Friends caregivers (even our token Brit, Vicky!) stepped out of the sanctuary for a few hours to celebrate America's independence. After all of the monkeys were fed and happy and the sanctuary was clean, we headed to Kari's friend Vivian's house in Alachua. We brought a vegan barbecue complete with baked beans, fruit salad, and brownies to enjoy on the lawn. At about 9pm, we walked up to a little spot on the hill, laid out our blankets, and celebrated being American! The fireworks were spectacular; watch them on the video below!
