We rode along the bumpy road, appreciating the sights through the car windows. The night before brought a wealth of rain, so shops were opening slower this morning. Puddles of water decorated the orange-dirt roads; cars carefully navigated the slippery terrain. Men and women cautiously walked the busy streets with crates and baskets of merchandise balanced on their heads. Shops stretched as far as the eye could see to our left and our right-- shops with food, clothing, accessories, building supplies, furniture, toys, souvenirs, and more. Suddenly, we saw it.
A taxi full of chickens!!
No, these were not frozen bags of chicken; nor were they dead chickens. These were living and breathing chickens! The taxi had pulled to the side of the road, and a woman opened the door to start unloading the chickens. We stared at the plethora of goofy-eyed birds, their heads quickly turning from side to side. Their expressions seemed to say "Geez fellas-- where are we?" "What a strange cage we're in!" "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"
I've seen some fascinating and exciting things during my time here... but the taxi full of chickens is probably the most random thus far!
