Great Travel Moment

A most interesting day trip in Brazil was to a military base where they train not only their military forces for survival skills, but also the pilots of airlines who regularly fly over the jungle On this base is a small small zoo with native birds and animals found in the training areas. Local families enjoy the zoo on the weekend, as we would expect anywhere (though we are deep in the Amazon). This little group of monkeys"looks" like they roam free, but they have a moat at their little zoo within such a much larger zoo.
