livestock


Don't you love it? That's the view out my back window. The african cows are kind of great. The little kids (like, tiny kids) bring them over to the fields around my house every day. The kids also bring donkeys sometimes, and occasionally they have donkey races. I'm usually pretty uncomfortable around large animals, but the cows here are really docile, so even if I have to ride my bike through a herd of them crossing the road they'll just stop and make a space for me. And now the great ambition of my life is to ride a donkey. I think my neighbor boy Danny is going to take me out to his family's rice fields in his donkey cart, which is... awesome. If it happens, you're going to see about a trillion pictures. Get ready.
