9:30 am, May 9, Ethiopian Airspace

We're on our way! Its crazy to think...we're in Africa! Slept in Ethiopia last night. Got up this AM for breakfast (with Ethiopian coffee and mango juice to drink) and headed off to the airport with few problems. Those few problems being: A-Steph and Sarah blew the fuse in their hall last night. B-returning to the hotel twice. The first time for a man who missed the bus. The second was for a man's wallet, but really, we think he was feeling bad for the first man's companion, who also missed the bus, and wanted to help him out. :P The second missing man turned out to be my "seat buddy" from the flight before, aka the guy who had his seat wayyy far back and didn't put it up when we landed. :P

Ethiopian coffee is da bomb.
 The bus ride was fun. We were able to hear from a recent speech therapy grad who is going to work with kids in Cameroon. We also talked to a woman who is returning to Zimbabwe after 20 years in the US. After one month there, she started on the path from CNA to LPN to RN. She now runs her own personal care home in the US, but is returning home to Zimbabwe to start a clinic.


Sudoku-one way I pass the time during flights
I'm enjoying this plane. Its a Boeing 787 Dreamliner (?). More leg room, a USB charger for my itouch, and touchscreen tvs. Woah. =) Oh, and an Ethiopian country music mix? Win.

Our touchscreen computer/tvs that welcomed us in multiple languages!

Father, thank you for all you are showing me in your Word. I don't want this to be merely a mountaintop experience.
