last days in ethiopia (addis ababa, ethiopia)

signing off from ethiopia, a land that inspired, challenged and embraced us. our final 2 days in addis were spent relaxing, meeting alex, the cousin of my friend, dawit. alex, an interesting guy and successful entrepreneur, took us to the posh addis sheraton to show us the other side of ethiopia. indeed, it had all the comforts of a western luxury hotel and we enjoyed it thoroughly. alex treated us to cocktails and some great live music. ironically, the band was from washington, DC.





as you can tell from the blog, we did a fair bit of writing today as we wanted to capture as much as we could of this fascinating place. we also took the time to get my first haircut in 3+ months, a "barbgain" at $1.25.





we'll miss the friends we've made in ethiopia
