First Morning Here

First morning here - its real now that its daylight. Goat herders sheperding down the street, I call it a street loosely and this is right out the front of our hotel.
For those of you who have seen the Sx in the City Movie - I have learnt well from Charlotte and kept my eyes and mouth closed during my entire shower this morning.
The airport experience last night was one I'll never forget. Wow Ethiopians have an amazing sense of family - for each person there was 50 people greeting them, I would have loved to have known their stories.

Today we are going to the Mother Teresa orphanage and having Shabis dinner with Dr Hodes and his 17 kids.

Food here at the hotel is of course very western - spaghetti last night, fried bread for breakfast and who doesn't love fried bread for breakfast. Apparently they think that's what a croissant is and hey, fat for fat content, probably is.

SOOOO excited to be here.

Mwah
