A photo journey of our trip.

I figure pictures tell more than what I can write.  So here is our trip in photos.  Enjoy!

Our car packed and ready to go.  

Gebremedhin, what a handsome boy!

Caleb and Geb had a great time playing soccer, building legos and just being together.

Nazareth loved taking the wet wipes out of my bag and wiping her face.  It was a sensory indulgence for her.

Nazareth with her mom and her uncle.

This is Geb with his mother.  She came to the Care Center to meet us.

Our family with Geb's mom.  We took these pictures, printed them off a small portable printer and gave her a small photo album with these pictures.   

This is a traditional Ethiopian meal at Yod Asyssinia.  It comes on a plate of injera bread.  You take a piece of bread and dip it into the different mixtures of sauces and concoctions.  We were in Ethiopia during their lent season. Most Ethiopians fast from eating meat during this time. 

This is a traditional coffee served with popcorn. Caleb and Katie's favorite part of the meal.

Traditional Dancing.

Musicians.

Our only picture with Reed, our pastor.  They come to your table and wash your hands for you (since you eat with your hands).

Geb eating lunch.

Nazareth loved Katie's necklace.

Katie had her hair braided!

Love that girl!  So snuggly.

Nazareth, our sweet girl!

The first church in Ethiopia on Entoto Mountain.

Katie and the grasshopper.

We visited the Alert Hospital, which is a Leprosy rehab facility.  People recovering or living with the effects of Leprosy make items to sell to help raise funds for the hospital.  The work is also used for some as physical therapy to regain muscles in there limbs.  This man is making weaving a blanket.

My sweet, sweet girls.

The view from outside our hotel.

Construction underway!  They use Eucalyptus trees for the scaffolding. 

In front of our hotel.  This was is the morning so little traffic.

In front of our hotel.

Beside our hotel.  Notice the neighborhood in the background.  The houses were mainly constructed out of metal corrugated metal.  My son said, "Whoever makes all that metal must be a millionaire."  It really the main source of materials use for houses.

Geb with the poster and photo book we gave him.  He lost his first tooth.  

Potty time.

A doll we gave her.  It was the blackest doll we could find.  Not very black at all next to her.  We are working on finding dolls for her.

A church we visited.  Said to contain the Ark of the Covenant.  Shh, don't tell anyone.  No one has been looking for that for a thousand years or more.  

Art inside the church.  In Ethiopia art, the evil people have one eye and the good people have two.  This is a photo of the first martyrs.  

Jump roping.
