Injera's not so bad... :-)

Today we got to experience another family meeting their kids for the first time. They met their 2 boys and it already felt like a perfect match :-). Then we went straight to their embassy appointment to finalize their adoption along with the family from 2 days ago. We took the 2 new happy families along with the 2 babies we will be escorting home. Tsnot is the 8 month old and Migdis is about 2. All of the embassy appointments went well and everyone passed without any problems! All of the kids were officially theirs! So we did a little more shopping to celebrate. I thought I had finished getting everything that I needed to get the other day, but when I saw more pretty scarves I changed my mind... I think I have a problem.

As for dinner, we were going to go to a typical Ethiopian restaurant with a dancing show with their typical dances. But I was getting a little apprehensive. I knew I would have to face injera again and I wanted to make it right with it again. I used to like it so why couldn't we go back to the way things were before? It was the same restaurant in which I fell in love with it last time so I thought that if my feelings for it would be rekindled it would happen here. So when dinner came it went surprisingly well! I had my share and I found a few toppings that were not too hot to handle. But although I am not ready to say that I'm in love with it again in
the near future, I now know that there is hope for next time :-). Obsi, a 12 year old boy came with us to the restaurant too. He was such a great boy, and it was a lot of fun to take him along. Especially since it was his first time ever driving around Addis or even going to a restaurant at all!

That evening we moved to the Grace guest house because we were getting kicked out of the New Flower. Grace was a georgeous place and felt very much like were staying at a hotel. But we didn't sleep very well :-/. The dogs barked half the night, and the neighbors decided to blast music all night... and American music at that! But what did we expect... its the same everywhere here in Addis Ababa.
