There are always chickens running around freely here. I don't quite understand how they know where they live and continue to come back home. That kind of goes for all the animals here, they always seem to be wandering around loose looking for something to eat. There are herds of sheep, goats, and cows that go on our road past the base every day. I think about how if a fence gets broken in the states, it is a big effort to round up the cows or whatever. Here they are calm and stay in the herd and go where they are supposed to. Even though they are calm it still scares me to drive past (or through!) a herd of cows on a moto. These cows have some big horns and could do some real damage if they wanted. Anyway, here is a picture of the ugliest chicken I have ever seen. Poor guy. Baby chicks are so cute, then they go through an ugly adolescent stage before becoming normal adult chickens. But this one has no feathers, I'm not sure why, I guess the other chickens were mean to him or something.
And here is a picture of one of the cows with the big horns. You can see my friends playing soccer (its "football" here) in the background while some cows are making their way across the field, no big deal.
We have big soccer fields right next door to the base. They are busy early morning and around sunset but mostly empty during the middle of the day because its too hot then.
