Leaving on a JET PLANE

Ok here goes..

DAY 3

Here's what we did yesterday

-had breakfast - SO GOOD IN THE UNION HOTEL

-Ted went to sisters of mercy orphange and played with the kids who are mentally and physically challenged. he said it was amazing to be there with them and that a touch to them is like the best gift ever. he played with them and loved on them.

-I went to hannah's hope. that place is so full of life. i honestly have never seen anything like it. for those of you that have kids there... know that they are in the BEST, LOVING care. i get goose bumps thinking about hannah's hope. I LOVE IT THERE. I watched the kids play. I played soccer with some of the kids. I have taken picture for everyone that asked. The sizes of clothes are hard to get because they sometimes wear things that are too small. and flip flops... it is hard to tell what size with those and crocs as well. But i have pictures. LOTS OF PICTURES.

-we had lunch at the Kaldie Cafe (just like a starbucks)

- we went shopping again... SO FUN.

-we got showered and went to a traditional ethiopian meal and saw the most amazing dancing. I love this culture. they are beautiful ... both inside and out. ted and i had a BLAST last night at dinner. one of our favorite moments of LIFE. we just delighted in those around us and enjoyed our son's heritage food. it was our first time to eat it (i know, i am a slacker) all i can say is YUMMY!!!!!

-we came home and packed up our room

-i found a soul mate friend here... her name is Rosa. she works here at the hotel and i absolutely love her. we hit it off. i am gonna send pictures and a gift back with julie for her. i told her i wanted her to come to the US for a visit but she said it is so hard. she has pretty good english. we are going to e-mail. LOVE ME SOME ROSA.

We went to sleep and we had a power outage... JULIE... bring light sticks... you can get them at wal-mart for 88cents. it is pretty common and i couldn't e-mail last night either.

So we are leaving on a jet plane tonight. i am so excited so see our other 3 but I will miss ethiopia with all my heart
