Feathers.

Aaaah, I wish I had tons of time to blog and blog. It feels like there is something new that I want yall to see and know about every minute! The commute to work has been a continuous lesson in trying to maintain some semblance of calm. Usually, I like to observe as much as I can – take in the fantastic colors, observe the vendors selling fruit and spices, smile at barefoot kids who are kicking around a soccer ball. Today, however, I learned a lesson in observation – be careful what you look for! This morning I walked along the crowded sidewalk and noticed an abundance of feathers. You may know, I’m a huge fan of Feathers. The feathers seemed to be originating at a medium-ish stall along the road. This is where I made my Big Mistake. I looked into the stall just in time to see a dear chicken slaughtered. Blood everywhere. A cage of live chickens screeching, and a pile of dead chickens being unceremoniously plucked (oh, hello feathers.). I turned away just in time to see a young man on a bicycle, and hanging from a pole across his handlebars? Dozens of dead chickens, tied by their talons. Looking at me.

In conclusion, I will be enjoying a vegetarian lifestyle for the remainder of my stay.

Also – I have a mailing address! Email me (ldenny@jd12.law.harvard.edu) if you want it! PLEASE want it, I would LOVE letters (or…care packages?? FedEx and DHL, I hear, are pretty dependable). Oh, and email me even if you don’t want my address. I want to hear about what’s going on with yall!
