Many Angry Monkeys.....









One of the highlights of my time here, was to go see the monkeys. About 30 min away from us is a larger city called Lopbury. The name means "Monkey City". In the center of this city of about 45,000 people is the remains of an old temple. Here live the Monkeys. I have know idea how they got there, or why they stay. The building is fenced off, but the monkeys are everywhere within a few block radius. They aren't really angry, just curious. They will snatch your camera, or a gold chain off your neck in a New York Instant. There is a team of guys running around there with slingshots, to keep the hairy bandits in line. We also got to go see one of the old palaces that is near by.
