Snakes

So - although I have not actually seen A snake since arriving here on the contintent of Africa, unless you count the Accra zoo, I have been told stories. Well today, in the middle of school, Tracey informed me that one of our day guards, Chaula, killed a snake in the school yard. Apparently, it slythered underneath the gate and into the school yard. I had seen something black running around outside my window at one point but chalked it up to Chaula running around for no reason at all. This would be a first for him, but living here - nothing is surprising anymore. Come to find out, the snake had come in and he was chasing it around the building. He finally caught it and took it to the neighbor, who...conviently, eats snakes. Tracey said that Chaula said it was an "orangish" snake that usually eats baby chickens (this is not a problem for me due to my fear of birds). I thought it rather adventurous and took it in stride along with the pigs and lizards that freely roam everywhere. Thought you all might enjoy another animal story - no pictures cause I didn't actally see the snake :(
