... There have been many such invitations in the past few days. Ranging from a few cups of the fantastically aromatic Ethiopian coffee to a chat with injera (kind of foamy pancake made from tef) and kai wait (spicy curry type sauce). As we continue down the hill towards our Dutch run camp at &#8216;Kim and Tim&#8217;s Village&#8217;, only smiles and friendly waves follow us&#8230;.<br><br>Looking back onto the many countries we have visited thus far, Ethiopia is definitely the hardest ...

... Town. <br><br>We were happy to accept the free accomodations, so we grabbed our bags, got our passports stamped "Ethiopia" and headed to the hotel. When we arrived there was a delicious Ethiopian lunch waiting for us. We enjoyed it, and then decided to take a little nap.

The only unknown is the price and the schedule, so I hustle down to find out. Despite being extremely hard to find, the rest is easy, daily service at prices I'm perfectly happy with, even if ...

... A reported 13,000 people were in attendance, and yet we still managed to seat ourselves in front of the handful of Mauritanians - dignitaries, officials, and their families - who had flown across the continent to see the game. The first half ended in a 1-1 tie, an Ethiopia goal off a penalty kick in the 38th minute and a quick answer by Mauritania. But Ethiopia ran away with it in the second half and went on to claim a punishing 6-1 victory, with 3 goals ...

... the eunich that Philip baptized with subseqent visits by the apostles. The religion observed the Sabbath, holy days, food laws, etc (some of which are still observed here). In the 8th Century an Ethiopian king corrupted the Orthodox Church's religion and it remains so today in most of its splinter groups. However, Yoseph says that one remote splinter group is still faithful to all of the orignal doctrines.

... our dining room with a giggly American girl who sounded like she was a Washington, D.C. intern. They were near enough for us to hear their conversation in which the man was futilely trying to enlighten the young lady on certain points of convergence in U.S. and Ethiopian history. He asked her if she knew about the Dulles brothers, which she did not. He continued by saying one was secretary of state, but the man seemed to be stuck for the moment on the name. After a brief pause ...

... volunteers, committee members, as well as the NGO and government partners that have contributed so meaningfully to get our organization to this important stage. Today we had a working lunch during which we planned the details of our meetings and strategy for implementing our needs assessment and project work. Tonight we had a wonderful traditional Ethiopian dinner ...
