Los Puertorequenos and 7 hours of buttholes

The few things I've noticed about Puerto Ricans I've gained from my 4 trips to Walmart, 4 super market trips, and many walks on the beach. All the boys pluck their eyebrows! They have such pretty eyebrows because of it, and look clean and . . . .sturdy maybe describes it. And they're on their cel phones MORE than people in LA and the OC. Maybe not in quantity, but walmart workers are walking around the store talking and checker outers at the grocery store. Crazy.
Its true, I have to watch the monkeys butt holes for 7 hours a day, 7am-2pm. Yesterday I was crowned with my own cooler to pick up my own poop! Quite a right of passage, since it means I've learned to ID the monkeys, some of them, pretty well. Of the 20 individual males that are Maria's focals, I can easily discern about 6 of them, the rest I still need to look at my notes to figure out, or cannot tell them apart at all. There are some tricky things I am learning about collecting poo. Some walk and poo and some sit and poo, and learning the poo-ing personalities is pretty important. And there's no point to skewing the scientific data if I'm not sure exaaactly who pooped, like if I didn't quickly look to see if there was any poop in the place where the individual I'm watching sat down. In other words, I have to keep my eyes on the butt hole.
This afternoon Maria is taking me and my housemates to San Juan, where there is supposed to be an art gallery night = My first adventure in PR besides Walmart and mofongo (mashed plantains with chicken or seafood).
Paz y amor y monos.
