Zoo on the streets!

One Sunday after church we headed home by car and decided to count all the dogs and cows. There are so many of them out there so it was a fun game to count them. We ended up adding camels, sheep and monkeys as well!
After about 40 minutes in traffic we counted 26 dogs, 27 cows, 1 camel, 2 sheep and 4 monkeys!
We hardly see monkeys so we were thrilled!
Cows, by the way, can be sleeping, walking or eating in the middle of the crazy traffic and of course they cross the streets now and then as slow as possible.
Dogs are everywhere, regularly we see the most adorable puppies playing on the sidewalks.
Camels and monkeys make us really excited when we see those because they are rare.

Snake!

Tuesday morning, womens bible study. We meet upstairs in Erna's house to discuss our study about the tabernacle. Around 11 o'clock there is some noise downstairs. Erna checks it out and calls all of us to come quickly to see a huge snake! Just outside her frontdoor is a huge, almost dead, snake. The driver almost managed to kill the monster with a spade.

It is still moving a bit and all of us look scared and amazed.

Later we realize that it was a Russell Viper, one of the four most poisonous snakes in Asia!

Erna's and our driver had been chatting close to this guy. Praise the Lord that just in time they saw it moving. It came from under some bushes with dead leaves.

Lots of frogs were in the grass around the house lately and probably the snake came to have a good meal! They seem to be all over that area with houses, in this same garden were a while ago two cobra's.......
