Sights and sounds and smells

The donkey bare a cross on their backs

Here at home in G-town there are so many special things that make this town one of a kind. After living in any place for awhile it is easy to take all them for granted. While I am still 1 month fresh from visiting the USA, I wanted to make note of the unique sights and sounds that stand out to me.

-the wailing of a donkey

-the call to prayer 5 times a day

-the smell of burning incense in the air

-the loud pop a water bottle makes when the trash is burning

-thorny bushes that can puncture a tractor tire

-men and women wearing sandals

-women covering their heads

-sweat gathered on everyone's brow

-entering a home and sitting on a mat on the floor

-a church's sound system

-every store being closed Friday afternoons

-beggars approaching and begging

-the smoke of charcoal

-the smiles of friends who we haven't seen in a few months

-the hospitality of drinking something cold when visiting a neighbor

All that and much much more!
