All along the road (a mountain road full of switchbacks so sharp that the bus sometimes had to stop and do a three-point turn around them) were signs warning about monkeys, but we never saw one. We saw a building which had carved into it the original "see no evil, hear no evil..." monkeys so folks on the bus had pretty much made up our minds that the monkeys were a legend. Then on the way down, they suddenly they suddenly appeared all over the sides of the road. Indeed, one came sauntering up to the bus (which was blocking the road doing one of hairpin turns at the time) but then quickly ran back and jumped into the open window of the car behind (which was blocked by the bus' maneuvers). About then, the bus started moving so we never saw what happened, but the car continued on, so they must have either gotten the monkey out or decided to give it a ride :-) Burns [ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body "unsubscribe man-bytes-dog" (the subject is ignored).]
