Wild Life in Musoorie

Because of the heavy rains, bugs have been coming into the hotel. We recently found a spider the size of my palm crawling on the wall. We decided to switch from our basement room to one on the floor above, which is also much less mildewy.

From our balcony we can watch monkeys playing in the trees. They will jump from a high branch, swing, and prop themselves on a new branch. Apparently they have learned that they can take peoples clothes and "hold them for ransom" in exchange for food. If you don't bring them food, they rip your clothes. They stole Elin's pants and walked around waving them over their head. 

The streets are full of stray dogs of all imaginable. They are mostly quiet and friendly.
