Little bit of info about our trip while i have a chance

A few things about the city of Addis is its busy busy busy busy. I have never seen so many people and so much traffic and it wasn't traffic like our traffic in the big cities it was cars, trucks, people, vans (which they used as buses) donkeys, goats and dogs everywhere and going which ever way there was very little organization. We were constantly almost hitting someone or something. The first few days you hold your breath and close your eyes then after that you just get used to it. The weird thing is it seemed to work. A van in our group did run over a dog and our van hit a donkey.. We only nudged it.. it was okay. The dogs were very over populated. And seemed to be wild not pets to anyone.

There were goats everywhere. Young kids herding goats right in the city. You did see wealthy people all over too depending on where you were.

We saw so many children with no parents. Thousands of them. The people there were soo beautiful. And so kind. Everyone smiled and treated us with such respect. I would go back
in a heartbeat if I could to see more of the city and more of the country. We were so busy the entire time we were there.

I do pray that some day we can go back with the kids to see their mother.
She was a sweet and beautiful girl. The trip to see the mother was the most beautiful trip ever. We got to see what Ethiopia really looked like and it was breath taking. I will never forget the beauty everywhere.

The meeting of the mother was amazing as well. However that is a story for the boys to share when they are older its not our story its theirs . It will be up to them how much and when and we really want to respect that. We did learn so much from her and what an amazing person she really is. I pray the boys get to meet her some day.

We visited an authentic Ethiopian restaurant the food was soooooooo good. And the music was so cool there were Ethiopian dancers and they blew our minds!!! They were so amazing and beautiful. I was afraid Zac wasnt going to come home with me at that point. Its dark and it was smoky from the incense they burn. So the video isn't real clear but this dance she did was soooo cool. But OUCH!!!
