My neighbor and his rooster are best friends. He bathes him regularly and takes him on walks around the village. Personally, I think roosters are creepy little buggers, but I’m happy he makes my neighbor happy and always wakes me up for the sunrise. #cockadoodledoo #besties #biffles #bff #🐓 #someoneforeveryone #day3 #100happydays #100daysinIndo #98togo #peacecorps #peacecorpsindonesia #pcvpov
Happy National Best Friend’s Day!
“Meet the boy who changed how I viewed the world. When I first got to my village, I was uncertain of what to do or where to go. This small boy, Kofi, took my hand, looked up at me, and led me to my house. He spoke no English, and I spoke little Ewe (the local language), but that did not matter. From that first day on, we were best friends. This is picture was taken while i was waiting for local transport to arrive (tro tro). He came and sat with me, to keep me company and to continue our language lessons. When I was away from my village, he was one of the main reasons I wanted to get back as quickly as possible. When things went wrong, and I needed a pick me up, he was there for me…just an easy smile and quick laugh.”
This is my best friend in the village dressing me in traditional Turkish costume for a wedding. It was taken in March 2010 in my Bulgarian village which is almost completely inhabited by Turkish Bulgarians.
