Grateful 120

I'm grateful for: Hilarious monkey antics at Angkor Wat! It seems this little guy is letting me know how he feels about having his picture taken ;) And he wasn't the only cheeky monkey hanging around Angkor today...

It all started when I almost ran head first into a monkey hanging out on the scaffolding in a walkway. I stopped just short of him only because Kasia yelled out, "Heather! Monkey!" in the nick of time. I'm sure that scheming little guy would have run off with my sunglasses if I had gotten any closer.

Then, a baby monkey bolted right past our feet, startling us so much it's a miracle we didn't fall off the side of the building. I think he was in hot pursuit of an unsuspecting tourist, perhaps bearing food.

Finally, for the grand finale of monkey antics, a thieving little guy marked us as targets and closed in on us to make his move. His first plan of attack was to steal Kasia's water bottle. He got his hands on it and attempted to pull it from her grasp, but the monkey was no match for Kasia! She won the battle, and the would be robber took off! Kasia: 1; Monkey: 0

Such fun times, making hilarious memories I'll remember for a lifetime!
