Mar 27 – Our last night in Ethiopia

Our last night in Ethiopia was perfect. Mr. Tadesse and Sablar(friends of my family and excellent hosts) brought us out for a traditional Ethiopian dinner with live music and dancing. Ethiopian music all sounds pretty much the same to me but the dancers are amazing – they move their shoulders the same way South American dancers move their butts.

Lungi got wasted on Tej (a local honey wine) while I came very close to passing out after eating an Ethiopian chilli pepper – by far the hottest chilli I have ever tasted. My face got really hot, the top of my head was freezing, my heart started beating really fast and I could barely breathe.

Anyway, Ethiopia has been a great adventure despite a few frustrations. We’re now in the Cairo airport waiting for our connecting flight to Casablanca…they better have some damn good falafels!  

Thanks for everything Mr. Tadesse!!!!!!!
