The animals continue to be a source of entertainment around
the Ordway home. Two mornings ago while
dressing for work our house girl Caterina called me to come and see the
chicken. I thought the chicken had
entered the kitchen and I did not see why I needed to be involved in chasing it
out. In addition I was running slightly
late and am not personally very interested in the chicken, therefore, I
attempted to get out of the event. Due
to language barriers it was apparent there was no way around this. So I followed Caterina to our laundry room
where our guard JP was with the chicken.
“Dead” was JP’s response to our arrival.
And indeed it was quite dead. We
are unsure of the causes but as none of the Ordways were at home at the time of
death we have pronounced it as unsuspicious.

Yesterday while getting ready for work I looked out my
window over the backyard and saw one of our umbasambis attempting to scare off
a monkey. We have an avocado tree in our
backyard so I think the monkey was coming by for some brunch. He did not look particularly worried about
the umbasambi as he processed to move from the fence to our avocado tree. Unfortunately I was a little slow with my
camera and was not able to capture the full scare tactics of the umbasambi but
if you look close you should be able to see a monkey in the tree. Enjoy.
