A nice Saturday out of Addis

The journey to the park started about 8:15 this morning. As usual I had a small bite at Bilo's before we left. Tagel rolled in about that time and left his car at the guest house. Micha/Dora/Tagel and I went in one vehicle and the rest of the gang in another. We drove for what seemed forever to get out of Addis, then arrived at our first (wrong) destination about 30 minutes after we shook Addis. We sort of started to disembark with gear at the first stop, but it was not where we wer supposed to be going (visions of Yod a few nights ago :)). We piled back into the trick and drove down some pretty rough road for 30 minutes or so then a 8 year old gave us the clue to the last turn to get to our destination. We navigated a windy hilly and rocky road for a few minutes then arrived at the park. They left me on the porch to one of the buildings and the 2 trucks went up a long hill to the bottom of a 2 mile path to a water fall. I played guitar, slept a bit, and awaited their return. Some 3 hours later, they showed up and we played some more music with Micha on the riq and Dr. Paul the washent. We ate scrambled injera and christened the soon-to-be-famous Washent Machine band. His axe is in F# which is an awkward key on the 6-string but so be it. I am working on a song in F# called "Thanks Hello OK" and it will debut with the Doc at the Dulcian compound soon. The drive back was quicker than there (not sure why), as always seems to be the case. I am having dinner tonight with Micha and Dora. They want to go to Peram but I am going to try to convince them to cab it to Naklah. Other than that, no plans for tonight or the rest of the weekend. Tagel and I had a 100 birr bet that would be won by the person who was NOT the first to talk shop. He did not hear me nor me him an work-related banter so we each owe each other 50 birr.
