I have so many stories I don’t know where to start. Last week a friend of Barbara Cooper came to help at the Trampled Rose. She also wanted to take a trip south to the Omo Valley. Kassa and I jumped in the car for a couple of reasons. The first I didn’t want Barbara to kill me if I let something happen to her friend and the second because Kassa had never been to the Omo Valley and we were thinking it would be a nice place to take any of you who would like to go in October as part of our volunteer trip (October 14 through 24, 2009).

This has been a week of lots of great things. Just today I walked by myself about a mile to the home of one of my Ethiopian friends (Tigist) to give her a birthday present. I made it the whole way even stopping in a music store to purchase four CDs I wanted, all in Amharic. I stopped to give a blessing to the beggars, greeted children and all the while not being afraid of cars on the very narrow streets. Even crossing the street by myself with no traffic guard!
