P-Day - Play Day or Preparation Day?

Our first real P-Day, we went to a Conservation preserve in Victoria Island with some other missionary couples from the Lagos West Mission. As you can see my squinting, it was nice and sunny. The photo on the left is a pond that had some crocodile in it (notice the ripples in the pond). There were also some birds (a toucan and a black kite) that we got we got to see. The guide showed us a monkey with a gray face up in a tree. He was cute, but hard to spot with all that foliage. It's much easier to find a monkey in a cage at the zoo. He swung off when he figured there were humans looking at him. I wasn't fast enough with the camera to get his picture. They also had a number of peacocks that were walking around their offices up near the parking lot.
The cost was quite reasonable to go to this small preserve. It cost us N200 each. However, what I didn't know was that they charge you to take a camera in, and that was N1000. It was still an affordable outing. We each tipped our cute guide another N500.

This a new raised walkway. It keeps guest up high to accommodate during the rainy season. I found these holes (right) kind of interesting. They were up to about 4 inches diameter, and I wondered what kind of gross rodent or snake might live down in that tunnel. The guide told me that they are created by crabs. The dirt is sandy, and the water table very high. We were quite close to the beach. I never would have guessed!
