Don't ever say you want to see a baboon!

We were walking down the walkway from the lighthouse and nearly to the parking lot when we saw trash on the walkway.  Christine said it was most likely from a baboon that had grabbed the bag of food from a person.  We immediately began cleaning up the mess when Cxx shouted at me and threw her trash at my back.  My heart leaped into my throat, my feet would not move, my torso twisted around to see what in the world she was screaming at, and there was a baboon right behind me.  He was after my shopping bag of gifts and would have taken it if Cxx had not threw the trash at him.  She had looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned I would like to see one (after learning they lived all over like our deer).  I neglected to say that I was thinking of seeing them from the safety of the car.  I guess I should have.  Eish!
