A little warning about monkeys...

They are thieves. Yesterday, Peace Corps took us to Sodere, which is a hot spring resort. There was a really huge pool, warmed by the springs, and hot spring pools, which were apparently used as public baths and not quite up to my standards. The monkeys were cute. Gray things with long tales at the tip and adorable faces. Until Peace Corps brought out our lunches. Complete with bananas. The little monkey devils stole our bananas! They would jump on tables and snag them, knocking down drinks, and managed to grab our fruit even when we tried to fend them off. Thankfully I didn't have anything stolen, but at one point I tried to see how close to one I could get. I managed about a foot and a half before it retreated, only for it to gather up its courage and lunge towards me. I really had no desire to take it's banana peel though.
