Arrived in Addis Ababa!
Well, we made it. Two delayed flights and minus two bags of luggage but we're actually here! Sam, the JSC Fellow in Addis met us at the airport and it was nice to see a familiar friendly face. It's the middle of the night, it's rainy and chilly. We'll have to go back to the airport tomorrow around midnight to check for our bags (only one flight from Istanbul daily). It's dark so I didn't see much on our short ride to the hotel. One woman and her small child begging for money outside the airport, stray dogs along the road, notice that men stand in tight lines together...Excited to explore Addis with Sam and Max tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteFriends and family, please follow Max's blog at www.tibsfordinner.blogspot.com. He writes so beautifully and has a wonderful account of our first day. Tibs are a traditional Ethiopian meal, spicy diced meat served at all meal times; Max had his for breakfast and lunch.
