Cultural Experience or Animal Rights Attrocity?

So this will be very short. Just had to say that I went to a cock fight. I was very conflicted about the whole thing and still am. I saw three roosters die. I also saw a transvestite dancing with a man with no legs. It was an interesting evening to be sure. I did not pay to get into the cockfight so at least there is that. I also did not bet or anything. I feel like I am confessing something terrible here. I need feedback. Am I a terrible person?

Pictures of La Conqusita (for my mom)

This is one of the cool statues in the church.

This is my friend trying to put the antennae for the TV together. The TV saga was a nightmare. It broke the first day I had it, (It fell on the ground) but it is finally fixed as of today.
This is my friend. He hates this picture so I had to put it up.


This is the park in La Conquista.




The church and the bus.



Some townspeople in the park.






Here is the park again. It is pretty green right now due to the rainfall.






Here is a pig in the park. I had to put this one up because it reminds me of a book that Ezra likes. This one could be called "If You Take A Pig To The Park..."






This is a street next to the park. I live like two blocks away.









Here is a mural near the Centro de Salud. Apparently it was made by "gringos".








Everday is a day for Vaccination!









The Centro de Salud.












Here is one of the main streets. (There are two).













This is where I teach in La Conquista.













Another picture of the school.
