Eddie & The Monkey

....so I was on the front porch of my friend Eric's house this afternoon. I bought my surfboard from him last week, but it has a small crack on the front of it and he said that he would fix for me. I gave him the board yesterday, and was going over there to pick it back up. I got past his dog "Eddie", and was knocking on the front door when I hear a little scuffle over my left shoulder. I looked back, and Eddie is playing with a monkey. There's a monkey on the front porch...and he's playing with the dog. Their boxing.

I can't even describe the thought that went threw my head. I heard that that there was this monkey that lived in the jungle, but every once in a while it would make an appearance Eric's front porch. She was rescued a few years back...then let back into the jungle..but apparently she still likes human company....

...I guess this must be her.

It was obviously her...and she was two feet away from me.

So I stand there for a while....then decide...I might as well take a seat, and see what monkey's do. So I'm sitting there......me......a monkey.......and a dog....looking at the beach. All of sudden the monkey jumps in my lap, and makes herself at home. She's sprawled out on my left leg, with her hands under her chin, and her chin on my knee...

....looking at the ocean with me.

I'm chilling with a monkey on my lap...staring at the surf break........wondering............just wondering.............................

Another day in Nicaragua.
