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!
Holy moly, your description of your response versus her response had me rolling on the floor and also wondering how you knew how my husband and I handle situations! LOL
Definitely not alone. In our case the visual is pretty hilarious too since I am 5’3” on a good day with static in my hair, and he is a little over 6’. And yet I’m the one with the umbrella battling the monkey boss! 😂
You married well, sir.
Indeed I did!

Funny how that works! Thankfully, we weren’t scammed by an monkeys or their human trainers.
I'm sorry but I feel you're a bit of a slower learner when it comes to these monkeys, Mr. Estrin.
Haha! You may be right. But I just love monkeys so much.
Brilliant. Wild monkeys = US Congress is a perfectly balanced equation.
My high school math and civics teachers would be proud.
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!
Thank you!

Hanging on for dear life!

I’m so glad to hear that we are not alone

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