Well it’s almost time for Melanie to go back to the states so we have been finishing up the last minute details. She was so sick yesterday that I was worried. 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.

Melanie and I just arrived back from Lalibella. This is an ancient Christian city with rock-hewn churches dating from the 11th century. There are eleven churches in this group. One group represents the new Jerusalem, another represents the coming kingdom, and one represents Noah’s Ark.

I have a little extra time to write while I am waiting for my bucket of water to get hot so I can take a bath. A usual thing for me, but one of the fun things of having Carolyn here is to remember how exotic and sometimes difficult to understand, this culture and life can be.

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.

I’m back in the USA. I arrived home on Thursday and my first thought was that I didn’t remember how big this house is. We are all so lucky! For most of the time we were without electricity two to four days per week. Water didn’t seem to be as much of a problem as it has been. But we forget how easily things are done here.

It’s always hard to know where to start when it has been awhile since I have been able to write . I have less than ten days until I return home (stopping in France first to see Stephane and Cristina). It seems like the time flew in one way and that it has been years since I’ve been home in the other.
