Strange Bedfellows

 You may remember that in December, whiling away the time in Dubai during an 18 hour layover, we bought a book on "Towel Origami."  OK, so we haven't actually read it yet, much less attempted to fold a towel in any way more complicated than over the shower stall, but still, we have the book, and thus the potential to create frightening animal shapes out of towels.  Turns out at least one maid in Mauritius has the same book, and she's the one working our room.  First thing we see when we open the closet to throw in our clothes is this hanging monkey towel.  Then, two days later, just as we've recovered from the shock, we walk into our room and find this swan towel on the nightstand.  Apparently her artistry is limited to yellow towels, but still, I'm a bit trepidatious as to what we'll find this afternoon.  If it's a dodo, I will be mildly freaked out.
