since my blog isn't working at the moment and the internet here isn't allowing me to access it i just wanted to jot down a few things about the trip so far. this may be more for my benefit to look back upon than for yours, but feel free to read!
The flight was nice, only 12 hours which was shorter then i expected. I slept for 8 of those hours. Very thankful for that. I am not feeling jetlagged at all, but I know a lot of my teammates are. Everyone is really nice and getting along great thus far. We have 5 translators: Sami, Su, Abi, Salam and Hannah. I probably butchered the spelling on those.
Addis is awesome. It smells like home. I feel more at home right now then I've felt in years being here. That probably doesn't make since considering this is my first time to Ethiopia.
In some aspects it's very similar to Nairobi, but at the same time extremely different as well. Many of the same sights, smells and feeling to it, but a bit more impoverished. Hard to describe, but thats my best shot.
Staying in a guest house here in addis. it's very nice, three rooms for the 8 girls and the two guys are staying out in a shed like building behind the house.
We are about to go eat lunch, then we will be going over to one of the orphanages to meet the kids. looking forward to it.
thats all for now.
