The airport was as expected in Addis...long, slow lines and then had to retrieve our 20 fifty pound each checked bags!! How wonderful though that we were able to bring so many wonderful donations in those bags:). We were at the airport for over four hours after our flight arrived. Part of the reason for this was due to lines and the other part because our driver wasn't there. We finally gave up waiting and called a cab. Luckily the cab driver brought a friend to help get all our heavy bags on top of the minibus!
Our guesthouse in Addis is wonderful! The staff is incredible and the rooms are spacious. We were there briefly before heading in to town to buy a Christmas tree for the children at the transition home. We were able to stop by the transition home briefly to drop off the tree and meet some of the children! We then headed back to the guesthouse for dinner and bed. Our team was struggling to keeps their eyes open all day! At any point today in the van I could turn around and see several heads bobbing despite everyones best effort to stay awake and take in the sights:)
I will try to post some pictures tomorrow. Good night!
