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.

One of my goals in life is to add value in every situation in which I find myself. This week has sure been fun living.

Just to let you know a little about how things change here I have a story for you. My friend, Carolyn, has agreed to bring me a bottle full of iced coffee from Starbucks.

The time is flying by! I was asking a friend here why time goes so much more quickly here than at home and we came up with the idea that it is because everything here takes so long.

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!

It sure feels good to be home! I had a whirlwind trip.

Yesterday might have been one of the most fun days of my life.
