The mom made some Ethiopian food for us to snack on - injera (a large "pancake" made with tef -instead of flour), doro wat (chicken stew with hard boiled eggs) and shiro (crushed lintels with spice). It was such a treat. We brought home some leftover injura and shiro, and Serena savored it until much to her horror, I threw the remaining peices away because they had mold growing on it. (doesn't keep real well.)
Garret found a buddy to play chess with.
Once we got to their house, and the girls had a chance to reconnect, they realized that they actually slept in the same bunk bed in Ethiopia at the care home. They were some of the older girls who helped care for the babies that were at the care home. The babies were lined up against a wall, and the girls spoon fed them. While we were at our friend's house, the girls huddled over the books of their Ethiopian trip and compared notes and reminesced. It was so sweet to see them running across the field hand in hand.
Serena even confided in her friend that she wished they were in the same family. I'm so glad that they live right in Gahanna, where my brother lives, so next time we visit my brother, we can stop by.
Stu watching their daughter play soccer.
Ahhhh.
