Monkeys at Hanuman Temple

8,000 feet up in the Himalayas and starting the steep climb up to the
Monkey Temple for a blessing.


This cheeky monkey just stole the woman's scarf off of her sari.
Ann and me mid-climb still looking happy because my sunglasses aren't stolen...yet



We were warned that they steal things so I rented a big stick for 20 rupees (with a 50 rupee deposit). This comes out to 40 cents. The monkeys could not care less about my big stick, and stole my sunglasses. He jumped on my back and pulled them right off my face. For a split second I was a living metaphor with a "monkey on my back".
