We made it to Addis Ababa. And, So did all our luggage! What a long flight of 18 hours. Our friends, Bob and Nancy, met us at the airport. I had forgotten how long it takes to get through immigration and customs. All went well and we got to the Hotel around 10:30. Then we talked until midnight.
Today we toured Addis. 4.5 million people. We drove all day and I didn't see one stop light! This wouldn't work in U.S. Traffic was amazing since it was Saturday and everyone comes to the market centers. We visited many museums and learned some about Ethiopian history. Much more to learn or attempt to understand. It is the cradle of civilization but we only reviewed the more recent history since 1855 or so.
Now we are ready to go to coffee shop. Ladies already left. Bob and I are on the computers. I sent one message out and it got lost in cyber space. I didn't something wrong. I couldn't do an update of Blog. Not enough time. I will do that later.
Pray for peace and those in poverty.
Phil
