ANNA AND KRISTIN IN ETHIOPIA!
It is important to drink a lot of water when you are in Africa, right?
This is Jerusalem, Belaynesh's daughter, making us coffee:)
This is Belaynesh, my lovely housemaid! We went to her house this Saturday, and she had prepared injera and wot for us, as well as popcorn and coffee. Sooo nice!
Kristin, getting a "shoe-shine"!
Anna at Mekanissa!
Traditional Ethiopian dance at Habesha restaurant!
The girls, Kristin, Anna and Brita....
and I...
eating wot, wot, wot! Yummy!
Anna and Kristin hanging out by the tree in Awassa, and me, sneaking in on a picture (like I normally do...!:)
Having friends visiting is always great! I’ve had to spend a significant amount of time at my office doing practically nothing, whereas Anna and Kristin have been exploring Addis Ababa and Bahir Dar. We have had lots of fun together after working hours though, so I’m not going to complain. We’ve had both rainy days and sunny days, so they got to experience different sides of life in Ethiopia. My reasons for giving so much space and attention to the roads here in Addis in this blog will now be fully recognized by both Anna and Kristin. We have taken so many taxis, “ge-ge-ge-ing” through the muddy roads with holes that are getting bigger and bigger. We have gotten our feet wet, our jeans dirty and our umbrellas destroyed. But – we have also had warm, lovely days, spent time with lovely people and had lovely food! And my friends, brave as they are, even went to Merkato all by themselves, shopping coffee cups and popcorn! They even learnt how to count to 3 and bargain in Amharic! (they got such a good price from the airport and back to my house, I have no idea how they did it!). A few more weeks, and they would’ve turned into Habesha’s:)
