Snow Monkeys

Took a rest day from skiing by doing the snow monkey tour at Jigokudani in Nagano. Apparently these are the only monkeys in the world who bathe in hot springs. The story goes that one day, just this one moneky took the plunge and jumped into someone's bath and decided that it was too good of a thing to let up. Eventually all her friends joined in too and the humans had no choice but to build them a spring of their own. Not too bad for being spoilt! Who's the joke on now?

Those crazy humans, don't they know the party is in the water?
