After more than a week in Ubud, we thought we had the local monkeys figured out. We did some “research” while visiting Ubud’s Monkey Forrest. We chatted with hotel staff about the monkeys. And in the afternoons, while waiting out the day’s rain, we observed the monkeys from the safety of our room.
Gotta watch out for those Ubud monkeys, some near the temples are famous for stealing keys and a local taxi/tuktuk driver would charge a fee to get them back. I'm suuuuure they weren't trained to do that, of course.
First delay of your trip home is averted! I hope you make it back to LA in less than 2 days. I enjoy traveling back from Asia when I can make it home before I left.

Man! Hang on to that woman, Michael. She is a warrior! I can hear her roar. Christina gives all of her gender inspiration - something to aspire to. Nice writing!
You married well, sir.

I'm sorry but I feel you're a bit of a slower learner when it comes to these monkeys, Mr. Estrin.
Brilliant. Wild monkeys = US Congress is a perfectly balanced equation.
Way to go Christina...I used the same technique to scare off a turkey vulture, while, once again a male companion stood by helplessly watching!!!
Great story!

I guess Christina didn’t monkey around!!
Thanks for an entertaining way to start my day.
I know who I want around in a Planet of the Apes situation.
