so, my family travels. a lot. an aunt and uncle just got back from a few weeks in china. another aunt is in peru. she goes for a few months every year to work with a halfway house of sorts. Here's an excerpt from one of her letters:
I had a strange event the other night. I went to bed about 10 and all was well. Just a little while later all the dogs, and I mean all, stated barking. All around the area. Then I heard tremendous yelling and shouting. Finally I got out of bed and went into Pamelas bedroom where there is a window overlooking the street. Our bedrooms are on the second story. There were probably 50 to 75 people out there. They were opposit each other in the street yelling and screaming. They were throwing stones at each other and some of them had machetes. Some people were already injured and were sitting in the street or under our windows. I did not turn on the light and stayed behind the curtain. They kept chasing each other up and down the street and out street is very busy with traffic but when the cars saw what was going on they all made U turns. For about 2 hours not one car went down our street and it is a main street. The creepiest thing was when they were charging each other they would walk like a monkey swinging the machete against the blacktop making the worst sound and sparks would fly up. It was really quite scary. Tony called his son, who was studying at a friends, and told him not to come home. He later said that is was going on all over the area.
I am thanking whatever gods that I didn't go with her this year, but at the same time, i am berating myself for staying in Michigan. I would not have been able to tear my eyes away from that window...
