We heard sirens outside Saturday morning and tried not to get too worried. If it were warning us of something, how would we know? Thankfully, Rob sent us a timely text message to reassure us that it was just a test of the system. Another question now comes to mind, what would they be warning people about?
Neighbours
Around the same time that was happening, we noticed a gathering outside of the building behind us. At first, we thought that it was just the neighbours getting together to enjoy the nice weather. Unfortunately, it became apparent that they were there to observe the passing of a family member. These colourful displays are deceptive, aren't they? It rained heavily Saturday night so they made the tent on the left side of the photo. All day and all night, the men were gathered around outside the building. One evening, I noticed that they were playing cards. I read that people gather in the courtyard to guard
the deceased and that gambling helps keep the guards awake. They were there for 3 days.Goats
I saw these goats on campus yesterday. Don't know where they come from but somehow it's not a surprise anymore. We've often seen donkeys or horses pulling carts on city streets too.p.s. I updated a couple of the previous posts with some pics.
