island of the monkeys…where have all the humans gone?



Planet of the apes, where monkeys roam freely. I thought, monkeys, how cute until I saw one attack a little girl for her food. The monkeys were lurking everywhere scavenging for food. I was smart enough not to eat my lunch out in the open. Most people pushed them away with sticks when they got too close. I tried to get as close as possible without invoking a response in them. I wanted to get some photos.


From the Gateway of India, I took an hour boat ride to Elephanta Island. Man was it boring. I took the economy class boat and I was surrounded by staring brown faces for one long excruciating hour. One bold woman asked about my marital status and then she told me I was too old to be single. This little girl kept staring at me so I took this picture discreetly. Afterwards her father turned and gave me a look I took as complete disapproval.
