why did the chicken cross the road

this morning, in a slow drizzle, i sat in plastic chairs along the sidewalk of pacto (the closest town to my community, small but with the necessities of internet and simple stores) with a fellow volunteer who lives about an hour away. it was our last reunion before i head home, and we made the most of it... we have a few chairs we tend to frequent due to the lack of things to do in pacto - and of course it is always pleasant.

as we sat there, looking out at the town and chatting, this chicken started wandering around in the road. we quickly turned to the topic of it being strange that this no longer surprises us, or seems something out of the ordinary. of course farm animals belong in the streets!
