We went down to Lake Awasa and took a ride on the lake. Celia is snapping shot and I snapped her. Notice the rower.
Colobos monkeys will let you feed them bread. Here, Celia and Tesfaye submit their bread morsels (and fingers) to them to eat.
Back into the trees to watch what we humans were up to.
Notice the similarity?..He's got long white beard, too.
Elsa in her traditional dress she uses for coffee ceremony.
That's Elsa and Johnny I told you about in the notes. Didn't really meet David, but he showed up the last day before we left.
That's Wendy, the VSO worker from England, who teaches English with Celia.
Our trusty(?) driver. I've forgotten his name, so I made up one that seemed to describe him.
Elsa, Celia, and Tesfaye.
Sara sent along a gift of fabric and Celia hands it over to her. A new dress?
Tesfaye's Father and step-mother showed up. Guess who's coming to dinner?
Old fogies.
They brought dinner of traditional Ethiopian food. Celia made them traditional Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches.
Another view with me substituting for Celia.
Working on the web-site of the birthday party. That's Celia's PowerBook I'm using.
I saw this Madonna picture in the hotel in Awassa and snapped it. Neat, huh?
The mountain behind Celia's house
What more can be said?
Hiking up the mountain from Celia's house. That's the infamous Teetee behind me.
Looking west from the top of the mountain. What a view! Wondo Genet means paradise and it comes pretty close.
Notice the shelf on that bird watcher. Me, Teetee, Tesfaye, and Sallie were checking out the scenery.
Taking a break at the top. Sallie wasn't reallly asleep.
