Monkeys !!!!!

While in Hua Hin, visiting my daughter, Stacey, we went to Monkey Island and FED the MONKEYS. we got a red plastic bucket filled with peanuts, banana pieces and slices of corn cob.... and the monkeys came to eat. big ones, old ones, baby ones. at first they would tug on my pant leg and reach for food with one hand and then the other hand. the older ones would sit right in front of me and eat and ask for more. The young ones would grab a peanut and scurry away to a safe distance to eat. Suddenly, I felt some weight on my shoulder, and a monkey was sitting there, tapping me and asking for food. One monkey jumped up on Stacey's shoulder, climbed down her arm to the bucket and gave it a shake, helping himself to a snack. What a delightful experience!!! And I am still smiling, just thinking about it!!!
