Needless to say the guitar last night and this morning was magic. It looks and sort of sounds like a Strat. I asked the driver this morning to head down Bole and hang a right on Mike Leland. Someone staying at the guest house mentioned a gym not far from Bole on the far side of the street. It's in the Joley (spelling?) building and I believe I know where it is. It's supposed to occupy the 2nd and 3rd floor, which will probably make it more suitable than the little one I saw yesterday. Sweet Thing especially, you'll appreciate this one ... I set up a GPS for Paul after loading the map of Addis. It is somewhat out of date but will do the trick. It's quite interesting trying to ask a GPS how to get from A to B when neither has an address. For example, the guest house I am staying at has no address like most other buildings. One turns the GPS on to "map" mode and when passing a spot of interest, one touches the car on the sunit and a few screens come up where you can enter the name of the spot to remember. As more and more spots are identified, you then have a name-based address grid that was self-built. The technology Sweet Thing, isn't it a sweet thing :) Patty and Joel ... you got that right; it is quite an adventure. If you guys ever want to come to Ethiopia, yes they do have meat and potatoes so ManyTrees will not starve. I am hoping to get a suit this weekend with Dr. Paul's guidance about where.
