We got Punk´d (Nica style)!

Yesterday afternoon I was in my house when I recieved a text message from another volunteer that went something like this, "I just saw you get attacked by a monkey on tv! ha!" So, when Jenny´s dad and stepmom were here we went to Granada. We were walking down one of the streets, everyone was smiling and staring at us, which is not usual since we are gringos. Then all of a sudden a gorilla jumped out from behind a car and did a somersault towards us! Well, not really a gorilla but a man dressed up like a gorilla. Jenny´s dad did give him credit for a very realistic growl.
So I ran one way, Jenny and her parents ran the other. Jenny said she was very close to kicking the guy. And luckily for everyone´s amusement they were videotaping it and it is now being broadcast throughout the country. We have already recieved two messages from other volunteers that saw it on tv yesterday and the teachers at my school thought it was hilarious.
