A preview
I have now lost more posts to the Ethiopian internet than I care to remember, so I’ve decided to go with brief updates for the time being and will save the real posts for when I get back to my beloved United States . . . home of DSL and this little thing we take for granted, electricity.
We had another good day yesterday, although Etta is now going through the formula transition and wow, is that a lot of fun for both of us. We’re hoping to meet birth family today, although I am not sure whether Etta’s was able to make it here.
We took a drive into the countryside yesterday and I’m so glad we did. Addis is nice, but I did not want my memories of my daughter’s birth country to be of this city. Just driving half an hour outside the city gave me a glimpse into a completely different universe. We went a couple hours further and it was just beautiful. Highly recommend taking the road to Dessie out of town if you don’t have time to head to one of the other sites outside of Addis.
And now, what you’ve been waiting for, Miss Etta. The pic doesn’t do her justice, although it does capture one of my favorite features of hers, her smile. More later.
