We took a day trip to the mountains of Nagano, Japan (the home of the 1998 Winter Olympics). There is a spot in the mountains called The Monkey Park. We were interested in seeing this park that has been featured in National Geographic magazine. The monkeys are called "snow monkeys". They live surrounded by hot springs and during the winter they play in the snow and then swim in the hot springs. There was no snow while we were there, but the baby monkeys were learning how to swim in the warm water.
