| Alas, the trek to Dembel was a disappointment. The guitar store was closed. I could see a few electric guitars through the window which was somewhat satisfying but not enough. Dembel is probably the closest we will see to a western-style mall. You will be pleased to know that a 4Gb jump drive here costs $50 USD and probably ~25 USD at home. By the way if you have been converting my amounts in birr to USD, divide by 12 not 10 as I suggested earlier. BJ ... think Chapel was cold; wait until you visit us again in the winter :) The men here "go" anywhere; I wonder where the women "go". I had a 79 birr buffet dinner w. beer which was nice and filling. It is such a pleasure not to eat meat. I treated myself to yogourt and pineapple this morning and will devour the mikowaby delicacy of bread with cheese and peanut butter in the AM. Ahmesagalahnu means "thank-you" in Amharic. |

Hahahah, peanut butter and cheese was a G&G Abbey staple!!!!
I can mail you one if you want, I get them at work for $12 CAD...
Mail? What is that? Nothing has an address here and we have not been able to figure out how to send anything other than DHL. DHL envelope to Addis costs $80 USD but thanks.
Did someone say "beer"?
