Several weeks ago, Anna (my housemate and friend) invited me to go explore part of the old city (home of the infamous monkeys) on a Sunday afternoon. We took a 20-ish minute bike ride into old town and walked around. This part of town is not very far from us but is so different from our neck of the woods. I'd like to go back soon and explore more. This part of the city attracts tourists with its temple ruins and monkeys! You can go inside of the temples, but we didn't on this particular day. I'll have to go back and let you know what that's like. The monkeys are quite scary actually and unfortunately, we've heard tell of and seen some of them migrating to our part of town! They are known for leaping down from the electrical wires and buildings and stealing your belongings! We actually witnessed 3 monkeys jump on a man to snatch his midday snack--they are quite relentless. Despite dodging these mischievous thieves, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon. Here are a few images that I snapped along the way. Enjoy!
Until next time--be kind and love well, my friends.
