the monkey temple.

yeah, so here i am in kathmandu. i admit i was a bit hesitant about hiking up to the monkey temple because i still haven't gotten my rabies shot and this friend of Brooke's was definitely bitten by an infected monkey the other day. but Brook assured me I'd be ok as long as i wasn't waving peanuts around in my hands or something. so we explored around up top and had a nice, long walk around the bottom of the hill. we talked about the irony of having this temple be significant to both Hindus and Bhudists. and then i saw a fruit stand and i had to buy some bananas because i'd been wanting to try some local produce. i love bananas. after one bite, out of the corner of my eye, i noticed two large monkeys running towards me as i was waving my bananas around in my hands. it's funny how quickly we forgot about the risky situation we were in, strolling through the monkeys' territory. i had a moment of local bliss in my mouth and then we were throwing the bananas in the air and running in the opposite direction. kind of scared, but mainly laughing.
