We made it! Smooth flights! All of our luggage with our medical supplies went through customs with no problems!
Here are a few pictures we took traveling from the airport to the guest house.
We spent our first day in Ethiopia relaxing at the guest house. We organized our upcoming week, made our phone calls to our contact people, Mischa had an upset stomach and spent the ENTIRE day sleeping, the boys played soccer with Birtukan's sons, Jada fell in love with Birtukan's 1 year old daughter and carried her around all day, Emily worked on homework. and we were just plain exhausted from 25 hours of traveling. We enjoyed our 1st coffee ceremony welcoming us to their country and to the guest house. Birtukan and her staff made a delicious dinner of homemade Ethiopian style pizza (that means spicy) and french fries. Then to bed by 8 pm.
So glad your travels so far have gone as planned. Keep us posted as you go! I wonder how the pizza was...hope you can recreate it when you get home! Hope Mischa feels better soon! Cheryl
ReplyDeleteYeah! All is well. I was excited to see the pictures. Feel better Mischa and Emily get that home work done and enjoy this experience! Can't wait to see more pictures. You, Steve, and Your Mom too.
