I Held a Monkey!!

Like a live, real, breathing, crazy monkey!! I cannot even! It was crazy and awesome and the most insane thing! It was amazing! They used us as trampolines to go from one tree to the next. Let me explain, so we went to this random place in the middle of no where (like everywhere in Africa) and we went down this trail and the guide made this weird noise with his mouth...I am not sure how to describe it, but when he made that noise all the trees started moving and it was so frightening! It was like that part in Tangled when the leaves rustle and she flips out and jumps on Flynn's back, but it ends up just being a bunny rabbit? It was like that, except instead of a bunny it was like 20 spider monkeys! It was one of the wildest experiences of my life. The guide then gave us some bananas and the monkeys jumped on us and just ate them out of our hands! They peeled the banana and ate it! IT WAS SO FLIPPING AWESOME! Once we got back in the van I needed a few minutes before I got back to reality because it was so sick! Oh man...I love Africa.
