Thinking about us
Mood is changing...
No, not into the intruders
Ok- so I concentrated on the happy parts of the Osa Peninsula trip- now I have to fessup & admit that the trip was not without a couple of bumps in the road to heaven. I tried to attach some video of the tail end of the monkey attack (almost) event in question, but it won't upload. Anyway it politely missed the part where the monkey came flying out of the tree & rushed me, whereupon I proceeded to let out a shreak & start to run the other direction. Next came a thought something like "don't show fear" & I began my monkey whisperer "tranquilo, tranquilo" talk while it glared at me & gnashed it's surprisingly vampire like fangs. It is amazing how easy it is to read the facial expressions of these little primates. I think that I came very close to adding some nasty monkey bites to my poor ant & mosquito bitten legs (or elsewheres). For the record it was not my idea to get that close!
This is the rushing event- even tho the quality isn't the best it captures the moment

Mel, I'm just happy that the bike and the pavement were the only things to attack your face thus far.
That is one pissed off monkey!!!
I don't think you should bring any home with you.
