We woke up this morning, with plans to visit our driver/friend's house. We were scheduled to be picked up at 1:00 to meet him, and his family as well as A,B&I. We spent the morning, relaxing, and getting ready for for the afternoon excursion. Eli needed to have a bit of a pre-emptive nap, due to the fact that he was probably going to miss his afternoon nap, and seemed to be extremely tired. Hilary had a little nap as well, as she has been having some trouble getting a real good sleep.
At 12:45, we were ready outside, and our driver picked us up. We went over to his house, and sat down in the house. I'm not sure what we expected, but I know that this was not exactly what we expected. We were ushered in and sat on a couch with A&B. Shortly after we arrived, we were served some Doro Wat and Tibs and of course injera . We tentatively dug in, but of course with my most excellent eating habits, I stopped pretty early in the game. I think I could've eaten some of it, but it was just too spicy for me. Hilary loved it. Eli loved it as well. We kept feeding him and feeding him. Hilary tried some raw beef, which seemed to be something special for them. We had a coffee ceremony there as well, and I actually enjoyed the coffee. It was great to meet some of our friend's family, and we felt that his mother (who served us for the few hours that we were there), was very similar to my mother. Making food for many people, and spending many hours making sure that everyone is satisfied.
We got back to the hotel around 5:30, and Eli was incredibly tired, so we ordered in supper, and prepared him for his bed time. Even though he was tired, we tried to hold off as long as we could before putting him to bed. He lasted until 7:30, and we got him into bed. We relaxed and watched a movie, as we got ready for bed. All in all, it was a great day. There will be no pictures today, but hopefully they will continue again tomorrow.
