Gibraltar's Barbary Apes

We had all read about the Barbary monkeys that inhabit the rock - I think I was expecting a zoo or something. Not! They roam free and are actually pretty sociable. There is a superstition that says Great Britain will leave Gibraltar when the monkeys do - not sure if the British believe that, but when their military occupied Gibraltar, they actually took care of the monkeys in their Naval hospital! There was a room in the hospital JUST FOR the monkeys, should they need hospital type care. Typical military medicine, huh? ha ha. We got pretty close to the monkeys, especially Buck, who is now known as the Monkey King. That is Bailey and Chelsea, making like monkeys in the other shot.
