As each of us in our varied lives journey, sometimes we will post photos, videos, or just thoughts of what we are going through. It is but one way we stay in touch.

aimee in addis

howdy - in a rare moment when the stars have aligned - the internet works and is not heartbreakingly slow (i could even log in this this time), i am not being pestered by people trying to get answers from me that i do not know, there is relative calm - i decided to just say hi - from ethiopia - where the food is great and they have a coffee ceremony that involves popcorn - i mean really do i need to say more - this is where i am meant to be.

Annie forced me to stop working and go to the largest market in africa (however, everyone says that they have the largest market...)
it was great - so packed and crazy and lovely - people walking around with two chickens hanging from their hand, donkeys, lots of people. You can get anything there - we visited the garment district, the religious curios district, the food and agriculture, home goods, etc. Amazing.

as much as i would love to post pix, the internet, while at least up, is still super duper slow.

love you all and hope the weather is as nice there as it is here -a
