Greetings from Addis Ababa. This is going to be quick as we're leaving for Awassa this morning. We arrived in Addis yesterday and had lots of time to relax and unpack. Birtukan and Nesibu are the BEST hosts and we love the Morning Coffee Guesthouse. We had a little snack of Shiro Wet and beets with amazing injera, then we had an informal coffee ceremony. And yes, I had three cups of the best coffee that has ever crossed my lips. Starbucks be gone! Then...Birtukan took us across the street to the Yezelalem Minch office where we met all the staff and learned more about our sponsored son. After that, she took us way across town to meet the most beautiful baby boy. There are no words to describe him, so I'll leave you with that until we can post some photos. We met all the babies as well, many of whom will soon be going home to America too. They are all adorable. We only got to visit for a few minutes, take a tour of the house which is just pristine, then leave for the guesthouse as it was getting late.
We had dinner and went to bed and slept wonderfully under the haze of Lunesta. We're starting to feel normal again.
Okay, gotta run. Spence is jiggling his pockets for me to get up. We'll leave for Awassa this morning and come back tomorrow afternoon. Shadley and family should arrive while we're gone.
Oh yeah, we miss Caroline to the point of tears. Please give her hugs and kisses for us. Love to everyone!
