Monkeys don’t naturally occur in the United States. The closest they get is Mexico, where you might see spider monkeys and howler monkeys in and around the Yucatan.
But you can see free-ranging monkeys in Florida. A well-established population of rhesus monkeys has existed along the Silver River in Central Florida for nearly 80 years. Depending on who you believe, the monkeys were either escapees from the 1933 filming of a Tarzan movie or intentionally released by the manager of the jungle cruise boat ride at Silver Springs. By 1984, the upper Silver River population consisted of some 400 animals, with an unknown number along the Ocklawaha River. These monkeys forage for themselves on a wide variety of native plants and tourist handouts. If you see them while you are canoeing or kayaking these rivers – don’t try to feed them. No matter how cute they look, it’s against the law to feed them and they can be very aggressive, especially when it comes to food.

There are 140 free-ranging monkeys penned up at 1000 Bank St, Richmond, VA 23218. These rarely think for themselves and survive largely on a wide variety of free dinners and lobbyist handouts. Although not terribly cute to look at, they can be very aggressive, especially when their feelings are hurt or ethics questioned.

I don’t really need to know where James Bacon is, as much as I need to know where he gets those crazy graphics for his blog articles.

Given that the two “foreign” languages Jim Bacon speaks are Latin and Aramaic I’m going to guess he’s headed to where English is still spoken, which would lead me to Belize.
If you haven’t already done so, you should read up on the strange tale of fellow Libertarian John McAfee and his hijinks in Belize. After all, McAfee did grow up in Salem and graduate from Roanoke College.

You got it!
forgot about John McAfee. Unfortunately, according to Wikipedia, he returned to the United States in 2013. Otherwise I would surely seek him out.
