Since we live on the same compound as the
kids, we walk them to and from school every day. There are always lots of kids
shouting “foreigngy” (foreigner) and “Give me one birr” (the Ethiopian
currency), as well as goats, donkeys, lambs and birds. Often we can also the Orthodox
Church on their loudspeakers. The other day I decided to bring my camera on our
walk home, and it turns out it was pretty popular to be photographed by the
weird white girl. The mountain we walk by is called Tabor Mountain (which is
why the college we will be teaching at is called Tabor Evangelical College) and
is a prayer mountain, on all hours of the day you can hear people praying up there.
At the end it started to rain, so I didn’t get the very last part of our 10-15
min walk. Anyways, here’s what a walk home might look like:
