6/4-
On my way to Addis again. I swear I am there more than at site. It
seems like only last week I was there for mid-service conference.
Now, I am heading in for a GAD meeting and to help do a beekeeping training training
for G12, one of the other groups of volunteers. Since it takes two days for me to get to Addis I decided I would
do my overnight in Butajira, my training site and where my host family lives.
I got to spend all morning with my family. They were very excited
to see me and greeted me with hugs and kisses on the cheek. As soon as I
arrived they were cooking scrambled eggs and tea for me. When I
finished they roasted, ground, and cooked coffee for me. After that I had
Qolo (think granola made of barely and chick peas) and a beer. It was
nice to just sit on the front porch again and chat with my host family. It
seems like forever since I saw them last, I guess it has been a year, and I did
get scolded for not calling and visiting enough. For lunch it was my host mom's
home cooked bayanet and another beer then my host dad walked me all the way to
the bus station, nearly a two kilometer walk. It was great getting to see
everyone again and I have to make sure to visit again before I leave.
