Back from Sodo

We just came back from Sodo. We traveled with three other families. It was an adventure. Our driver David is a awesome driver. He had to drive fast while dodging all types of people and animals. It was truly an experience! The country side was beautiful! Talk about rural. The hill side villages were something out of a movie. The meeting with Emenet's mother went well. She was very quite and reserved. (sounds like the descriptions I get about Emenet When I gave her the pictures of Emenet she repeatedly kissed everyone. She said she loved to sit and play with her, and that she was a very happy girl. She would like it if she could grow up to be s teacher. She was very sad and had little to talk about. We took lots of pictures from the orphanage she was at. The nannies all loved the pictures of her also. We spent the night in the noisiest place ever!!! It was near a bus stop that worked all night, and a mosque that had a call to prayer at 4:00 am and then again at 5:30 am. What an experience for the boys and me. Will write more later...
