a friend of ours taped the merkato when he went last year
i have one of the straight dresses with design down the middle and matching nuttela
there was this big ethiopian soccor match here a few months ago where i fell in love with a cross (i'm sure you can understand that by this point). no-body would negotiate beyond a couple dollars on either side! because their sale was guaranteed etc etc etc- and _believe_me_ i had a big team of negotiators in there yelling.
i am amazed more and more by the role of women in ethiopia. how are you adjusting? have you seen the zoo? my husband grew up right near the zoo.
are you staying in addis for the new year?
how is the amharic coming?
