Arrival

Howdy!!!
We arrived in Addis Ababa last night, after our 3 long flights, the last 16 hour one was a killer for sure. We settled right into the guest house and were greeted by all our old friends from the house last trip, as well as 2 families from America who traveled with us last time. Wow it is great to be "home". We were able to visit for a few hours on the balcony last night when the group broke the news that the orphanage wasn't accepting visitors today because of the Ethiopian Holiday celebrations taking place. What a bummer! We will not be able to see our boys until Tuesday! Therefore, we hired a tour guide to take us to the Portuguese bridge today. the company as well as the beautiful canyons and waterfalls were amazing. We were able to stop and visit a village as well in order to see their way of life. Kelly, our buddy, took pictures of the village last time and had the photos printed to deliver to the people there. They were amazed to see printed pictures of themselves for the first time ever, and I can tell her gift made their day. We have had a great day, as good as it can be not able to visit our little ones. Next we are off to a 1.5 hour Aromatherapy massage!!!! Wooo-hoo! destress time after all this!
We will keep you updated and appreciate your prayers as always! Love yall!
