odd isn't it?

The other morning, I woke up at about 7:15 am to pee (something I have to do about 5-6 times a night at this point) and I shut the window like I always do at this time of the night. You see I have to shut it because our bedroom is on the back side of our house which overlooks all of the terraces and gardens of our block. And one of these terraces or gardens boasts the home of a rooster who every day between 7 and 7:30 makes his presence known. Loudly. I don't mind shutting the window. By that time of day our room is quite cool and getting back to sleep is not a problem. I just remember thinking how odd it was that Santiago is the largest city I've ever lived in and I have a rooster who wakes me up every day. Something I would expect out in the country, but not really in the city. And it's even funnier because I've lived with this rooster for almost three years and two days ago was the first time that I even thought that maybe he was a little out of place.
