"The Three Pigs". If there were a title for our day today, that would be it.
Pig #1 entered our day bright and early this morning, at the gas station. As we were topping off the Mope, I noticed something unusual about a vehicle that had just parked near the station. It was very old (normal), the trunk was held down with rope (also normal) but something just wasn't right. Once the driver emerged in full camo, it became clear. Moments later it was confirmed. They had just shot a pig and sure enough, lovingly tied it on the trunk of their Corolla.(see photo below).
After that tender moment and a good laugh, we headed to work. Today we volunteered at a new coffee farm for the first time. Not knowing what was in store, we expected to be working in the coffee fields all day. Maybe we would be processing coffee or cleaning the mill... What was our job for the day? Patch the fence where the pigs get in. Evidently pigs love coffee. Pig #2
Pig #3. Up to that point, it was kind of a normal day. Sure the pig theme had come up a few times but that was just a coincidence and we really didn't think anything of it. Things changed when at about 8:00pm we got an unusual knock on our door from our farm owner. With gun, knife and flashlight in hand he asks, "wanna go on a pig hunt"?!
So there ya have it. "The Three Pigs". Did I mention we ate pork for lunch?
