We arrived in Addis Ababa this morning. God provided for smooth flight connections, good interaction with seat-mates who said they would pray for us.
It is sunny and 70 degrees out. Bouganvilla, geraniums, lantana, and canna all in bloom. Traffic in the streets like high school students when the bell signals the end of the school day-- weaving in and out, communicating and being aware of everything around in what seems a collective somewhat chaotic flow.
We are staying at the SIM (Serving In Missions) guest house here. We walked to a cafe to have a macchiato and some breakfast with Eyasu, who waited patiently for 2 hours as we waited in line for our visas at the airport. On our walk we passed a park built in the communist era and the country's largest hospital.

| Rich couldn't remember the name of the really good coffee drink. Then we found out that it was simply macchiato with an Ethiopian accent! |
 |
| Almost as if it could be Starbucks. Though i'm sure Kaldi's Cafe has better coffee. |
