Monkey Forest Bali, Crazy Monkeys

I was excited; I'd never seen a monkey in the wild, nor had I ever been able to hand one food. I couldn't wait to kneel down and feed a baby monkey, have him crawl into my arms and fall asleep, and cradle him as we walked through the forest together. That was my 30-second daydream.

Instead, a papa monkey came over, climbed up my dress and ripped the food out of my hand. He was heavy, his hands were strong, and he had evil in his eyes. I threw the rest of the bananas down before papa monkey's family could gang up on me.

Naturally, Jeremy got it all on videotape.
