My favorite experience from both of the treks was...
During my second trek the weather kept going from good to bad and bad to good but at this moment it took a turn for the worst. I was right by what they call "monkey island" which is outdoors and it started to rain with harsh winds blowing all over. Even though the weather became so bad it was really calming to observe how the monkeys were interacting, it was as if everything was normal for them. In my experience of being at the zoo and watching television I have never seen monkeys in conditions like that, 30 degree weather with swirling winds sending leaves every direction. It was just really interesting because it felt like it was a juxtaposition. It was like a photo of the monkeys in Africa was cut out from a magazine and placed in a photo of Milwaukee with our weather. I'm sure they get comparable rain and wind where they are from but I like to think that the midwest has its own distant characteristics when it comes to autumn weather.
