DAY TRIP IS AN EYE OPENER

DAY TRIP IS AN EYE OPENER Got up early this morning to start the school day at 7:30am with the students (for those that know me well this was a feat in itself!) Started early so I could leave at lunch and go into the next city over (about an hour drive away) with Susan. Along the way in the middle of the highway at a road block, which they have frequently to check that the vehicles are registered, there were girls and women holding chickens by the necks, wings or feet …. yes, already dead. There were fires all along the side of the road burning away, because this is how they keep the grasses from getting out of hand. Very strange to be driving along the highway with small fires burning and flames rising all over the place. On the way back, a man was standing in the median of the highway holding up 2 big juicy rats by the tail, and yes, these rats were for sale for someone's dinner. When we arrived back to Grace we decided to do our yoga workout and were quickly joined by many little spectators. The kids will watch anything, even if it is a workout video. Later I gave Bill and Clement their birthday presents they have been patiently waiting for. The were very polite and calm while they were with me but as soon as they got out the door I could hear them shouting with joy at their new cameras :) Awesome day.
