Entoto Mountain

Sorry we haven't been able to respond to emails.  It literaly took me 20 minutes to get to this point.  And you have to pay per minute.  If there is something urgent please put that in the subject and we will make sure we try to read it.  We are doing good.  Tegegn has been fussy the past two days.  He is in to screaming and fighting naps big time.  It probably a combination of getting over his sickness and being placed in a new world.  He is still cutier than ever though.  Yesterday we went to Entoto Mountain, which for those getting ready to come here, this is one place you can't miss,  There is a beautiful church at the top and it over looks the city, and it is one of the most beautiful drives.  Tall Euchaliptis trees cover the road as you drive up.  We try to do something different each day.  We also DROVE through Murcoto.  Wow, kind of glad we just drove.  Very overwhelming.  We decided to stop and shop a little on the way to Entoto Mountain in a place called Entota Market.  Very nice and clean.  We bought tradition closthing for all of us, and something called a Gabi which is like a big blanket.  It sounds like thingsare going well back in the US and the Colts keep winning.  They were getting ready to show highlights of the game on TV but the satalite went out right at that moment.  That was painful.  We hope to update more when the internet is a little faster.  Ha!

Love Chris and Sarah

Glad to hear you're having such a wonderful trip! What a blessing to be able to spend so much time in Tegegn's birth country. If I don't "talk" to you before, have a very Merry Christmas. Let us know some of the Christmas traditions you see in Ethiopia - always fun to incorporate those in our own.
