Thought I'd write about a few things that make life here in Masalli, Azerbaijan interesting!
Roosters crowing in the morning
Hens clucking after they've laid an egg
Geese honking when they are disturbed by stray cats, dogs, children
Shepherds shouting to their sheep grazing along the boulevards.
Small cars laden with fruits and vegetables and moving along back streets as the farmer calls out whatever he is selling to housewives hidden behind walled yards
A car stuffed with merchandise and parked near a store while the driver convinces the clerk to stock it
Clothing peddlers calling out their merchandise to apartment dwellers above.
Men and boys standing along country roads in late afternoon holding dressed chickens and ducks for sale for evening meals
My lovely host mom opening the kitchen window of our 5th floor apartment and blithely sliding the scraps of food off a plate saying, "there are some cats who will like this."
Was that really a stork flying over a wildlife refuge along the Caspian Sea?
The Sound of Music played on the piano by me!
