Before flying out o the Americas we thought we should catch with with old monkey Dave, Loraine and little Hazel.  Especially as they are moving to Rwanda in a few months.  Luckily they had already arranged to be in the southwest visiting Loraine's sister and family, Sarah, Big John and Little John.

It was great to see them all, although it did feel a little odd to be staying in someones house, with a TV, and a garden, and a dishwasher and SOFAS.  Still we had lots of fun outdoors too.  Going up to Sedona for a walk in the park, and eating John's brilliant smoked trout (caught by Little John, smoked in Big Johns smoker), playing with SNUBAs and firing rockets in the park.

The Ronchi Vernons all seemed very happy, Hazel was really well behaved, and Dave and Loraine are really looking forward to moving out to Africa.  And we're looking forward to meeting them out there for a gorilla based holiday soon.
