Monkey Love

After several weeks in foreign-speaking countries, a daytrip to English-speaking Gibraltar sounded irresistable. The Rock, a tiny 2.5 square kilometer British protectorate on the southern tip of Spain, is famous for its "apes," tail-less monkeys that have grown entirely too familiar with the town´s many human visitors. Just like bears in the Sierras, they recognize things that likely contain food, e.g., backpacks, plastic bags, etc., and will climb right on you to get to it.

Danielle was the chosen backpack wearer that day and was accosted no less than five times by curious primate friends. Those opposable thumbs are useful, and one managed to make off with her sunscreen.
After impressive acrobatics by Brandon, the sunscreen was retrieved and the monkey properly chastised. Both the sunscreen and Danielle were given a thorough bath afterwards.
