Today was another typical day in East Africa. After driving through pasture land with no roads to count and identify grasses for two hours, Erica took me and a couple others to the ATM in Karatu. On the way home, we decided to look for hominid, the olive baboon that walks on his back legs, chases women and opens doors to steal food. We pulled off the road, backtracked by driving on the side walk and ran into a man who was carrying a slingshot allegedly trying to shoot hominid out of a tree. Hominid had been on the run again earlier that day, opening doors and stealing food. Unfortunately, we were forced to return home without a hominid sighting but we made a new friend with a slingshot who promised to help us find hominid if we ever came back looking for him. What would life be without a famous, annoying baboon to keep us occupied…
