We found this place not too far from Shell (about 20 minutes). This guy has 21 monkeys and they are all very used to people. We think he has a little scam going really. When you enter, the monkeys come up to you and check your pockets, if there is something, they will take it. And if you are not holding on to your camera well, or if you have glasses or sun glasses, they will take them. O
ne of them did steal the glasses from a lady that was there at the same time as us, he went up to the roof with them. He did bring them back down when he was bribed with food. But he probably has a collection up there. You notice I don't have my glasses on (I took them off, not the monkey)We had a good time. I sat with the monkeys for a little while. One did steal my hair tie and then was trying to find bugs in my hair. I doubt he found any, but everyone said he did put something in his mouth that he pulled out of m
y hair. They were kind of prejudiced, they would choose one or two people in the group to play with and then they were actually kind of mean to anyone else who came too close to them. I guess me and my friend, Alex in the other picture, were the lucky ones. My other friend, Melisa, in the photo with me, was not one of the lucky ones, this monkey would not sit in her lap for nothing. In this picture, he was trying to steal my earrings, I man
aged to keep all those too.Over all, we had a great time. I am excited to go back and play with them again some day.
