I can’t believe that three more months have whizzed by! I’m winding down my stay in Ethiopia and will be heading to see friends in Spain on Saturday. I’m looking most forward to having time to visit with people that I love and second to the food and wine! One of the benefits to my volunteer work here is the precious friends that I have made all over the world. Most people stop to see their friends on their way home from work in their city. I get to stop by in countries.

This is such a depressing time for me in Ethiopia. Here we don’t eat any animal products for 40 days. Easter is the breaking of the fast. So the streets are full of goats, sheep, and chickens who are about to be killed. The chickens hang upside down as they are being carried. The shepherds use whips on the sheep and drag them by their front legs. I just so miss the way we celebrate Easter in USA with new dresses, candy, and lunch with friends and family. Mmmmmm… please eat a malted milk egg in my honor.
