A Trachea From The Sky




Tuesday was a religious holiday here in Senegal and it is called Tabaski (yeah kinda like the sauce). People here buy a ram, sacrifice it in front of their home, and then have a family feast. It's a tribute to Abraham, the guy that was going to kill his son, then God took a valum and said, never mind, kill a ram instead. It's cool that Islam recognizes Bible figures like Abraham and Jesus. Anyways, so our friend Stacy was on her way to our house, saw a bird above her, the bird was spooked, and dropped this beautiful ram trachea in front of her. Imagine if it hit her on the head, gross!
