Normal with a Twist

These men are the religious and academic leaders of their clasns. This particular man is super excited about the possibility he has suggested -- giving our girls classes! Probably not going to happen... but interesting nonethless.
Monkeys on chains and in cages are more common than you'd think. Usually up in the mountains, but this one was on the street corner outside our place.


Stray dogs (and dogs who HAVE owners but roam the streets anyway) are very common. Yeah, I didn't think there would be too many pets because they are eaten
(NOT a rumor! The restaurants on one street in town specialize in both dog and cat!)
This pup was a bit unique in that A) He was cute and B)He followed Emmy for blocks.
She really wanted to find out who owned him and buy him! We would love to get our girls a dog - for protection, play, and just the sheer affection - but they are VERY expensive!

Two more things that are very common - clothes and meat hung out to sun.
(Another use for the sidewalks!!)
However, it struck me to see them hanging together. It's not that it's necessarily uncommon, but it made me laugh to see the little baby split pants hanging with the sausage and the duck carcass.
