Farewell Ethiopia

We left Babagayu after a late breakfast. The morning traffic was heavy, so we arrived at St. Joseph at 10:00. We had been invited to graduation. Our friend, the Archbishop was the chief guest, but we too, were recognized by Mr. Demesse. The honored alumni was from last year. He received the top score in the country on the national exam (as his brother did the year before). The school has a lot of brain power!

After graduation, the long awaited SHOPPING!!!!!!! Bargaining is the name of the game and everyone came away with great treasures.

The trip home: 3 continents, 30 hours, 8 time zones. What else can one say!

It was a great trip. Many, many thanks to our hosts. I still feel like I have been hit by a truck, so this is short. I am looking forward to seeing all of the photos.

Although I am not finished organizing all my photos, you can see them at http://www.flickr.com/photos/msafari/.
