Daughter L hosted a small party with 3 other friends and her boyfriend recently. They started out wearing masks and sitting outside on their condo patio. But as the evening progressed she had to admit they didn't end up keeping much of a distance. However they were all happy to be together after many months apart. L said it was great catching up with each other.
One of her friends had been on safari in Africa a couple of years ago and recounted a now hilarious story. It seems the people on the safari tour bus asked the driver if he could open the large sunroof so they could have a better view of the wild animals. He complied and before long, a monkey jumped through the sunroof into the bus. L's friend said she was so scared. The monkey moved through the bus aisle and curiously touched everyone. He ended up at the back of the bus and grabbed someone's backpack and jumped out of the bus. It turned out to be L's friend's travelling companion's bag. The driver eventually located said monkey high up a tree. He was rooting through the backpack and luckily found a bag of oranges inside Happy with that he threw the backpack to the ground and went on his way. The lady who own the backpack said all her valuables including her passport and money were inside. It was a great relief to get them back. The driver said if the monkey had not found the oranges, he would have kept the backpack and run away with it, but he was happier with the oranges.
We have to remember that monkeys are wild animals so it must have been a scary experience. This monkey was as big as L's 5ft something friend and wider.

That must have been scary.
Luckily there were some oranges in the backpack.
Well ended this adventure.
OMG. Who'd have expected that.
Thank goodness for the oranges!
Wow.
Young people and parties. They really don't get it.
Holy cow! Thank goodness she had those oranges! That would have been terrible to lose all of the important documents etc. I would be scared. We see monkeys on tv- but in person it's important to remember they are wild animals. Funny story!
