Me with the BitersMe with the BitersMe with the Biters

The one on the right did it!
We decided to take a short drive to Gibraltor today. We crossed over the border by foot then took a bus to the “Punta Europa” then to the cable car base. The cable car took us up the rock of Gibraltor. We all got a kick out of the very friendly moneys that inhabit the rock. I wanted to take a picture with them and thought it would be cool to do so while touching one of them. I hadn’t noticed the sign that said if you touch a monkey it might bit you. As my hand was reaching towards one of the monkeys, he grabbed my hand and bit it. Thankfully it just felt like a baby without teeth but it still shocked me a little and my mom and cousin got a good laugh out of the incident.

That evening we went to eat at a really good restaurant on one of the marinas called Alberts. I had some very tasty salmon and vegetables.

monkeys!
Just remembering the biting incident still makes me laugh. I was telling my co-workers about it and everyone was like "that's horrible, was she okay?" I'm like, "yeah, it was funny... " Makes a great story to tell...
