We headed back north. Saying farewell to friends in Shashamane was hard. Clearly, we should be building up Shash to be fertile, educated and safe. Thank Jah the process has begun.

The bus up to Addis was long and hot. We found Leah's place and settled in. Leah's is a guesthouse near the south end of Bole Road. They boast British food. The rooms are reasonable, and they're about a mile from the airport. Nuff rases come through this house and we were blessed to be in the company of so many raspectful people. Brother Yonas sold us some Ethiopian calendars he had printed. I had been looking for one. We also me a man who had worked closely with Crown Prince Zere Yacob. He said the prince is pure love.

Twice on our way out I was encouraged to continue reading the Book. Sister Bunny said that your spritiual growth stops when you stop reading. Another brother had read it three times already. It takes 3 and a half years reading a chapter a day.

We got a nice taste of modern Addis Ababa exploring the Bole area. Everyone uses public transportation. It's cheap, quick, and reliable. We tried some Ethiopian pizza and bought some coffee and incense to take back. Dr. Abate cooked us a huge dinner at his house. The fried oyster mushrooms were delicious. We had a coffee ceremony.
