Our best day in Ethiopia had to be the one we spent at the home of our new friends. We had the best food of the trip and possibly the best coffee I have ever drank. Our friend S and his family's hospitality was amazing - I ate to uncomfortable excess and this was even while refusing lots of offers for more delicious food.
Sparkle had a blast too. She had taken over the use of my camera and I was amused later to find quite a lot of photos of one member of the household in particular that she seemed quite fond of :)
Here are some pictures of her with some of our very gracious hosts:
And here she is helping out with the coffee ceremony:
Bug was pretty pouty for the first hour or so when the cameras were out, but she warmed up later - don't worry! S, his brothers and his sisters were really helpful with her:
Our friends also showed us how to make shirowat and injera. After a short demonstration, I decided to give the injera a whirl. Here I am cleaning the press:
And here's the mess I left:
I realize that you really would probably need video for the full effect, but trust me when I say I do not have good form either. Everyone was in stitches after watching me though, so I guess that's something :)
We really had a great day and it is one we will always remember.
Thank you, M Family!
