While you are all into your day, I am getting ready to go to bed. I’ve been here one week now and this is the worst jet lag I’ve ever had. I’ve been up until 5 am and then my alarm goes off again at 8 am for me to get to work. I’ve found myself nodding off in the car even in this unbelievable traffic here. My driver was upset today when the traffic police blew his whistle just because he was going straight in a turn lane. No one knows the meaning of that here!

I was trying to remember all the details of Swine Flu but I keep missing the news. I used to be so updated on things and now I am just happy when I can remember the name of the new Vice President.

What a wonderful time in Bahir Dar! The weather was perfect and the hotel is almost equal to the Broadmoor. Wow! Plus everything was free including daily massages because of my “model” work. No one seemed to believe me when I told them I was a professional, in fact they usually couldn’t stop laughing. Oh well…..

The graduation was beautiful.  There were so many friends who have seen the struggle and were such a big part of the celebration.  The ladies all looked beautiful with their hair done in special rose clips donated by Sharon.  They all had new shoes and new sweaters and their faces were so full of hope.
