Ethiopia Part 2

I have been back for almost a week, and yet I feel as far away from home as I have ever been. Everyone I have ever talked to who has been to Africa spends their life trying to get back there. Recent geneticists have traced the human lineage back to a specific part of Africa, hence the term "We are all African." I believe all of us are just trying to get back home.

Here are more images of our trip. I just finished talking to a few owners of Starbucks, and they may be willing to help out
Hanging out with the children at Zwai medical clinic. I have never seen a better group of well behaved children. In 2 weeks, we never saw a single child cry.
An older sister turns on the water so her younger sister can drink
A young man d etermined to come to America. He followed us for 4 straight days.
A young child carrying an Ethiopian hoe in the middle of the city
A 114 year old woman in Wojula
Orphans at such a young age, she is now responsible for her younger sister. The eyes of hope in a small child at Genet church.
