Hi all,
We are here safe and sound. Our flight was about 2 hours delayed out of DC, but the trip was smooth and no problems. Addis seems just like Phnom Penh to us, except that it isn't quite as crowded and the people look a bit different. The guest house will work out well. The internet pictures make it look bigger than it is, but it will do just fine. We met some interesting people on the plane, some adopting, some doing mission work. Very comfortable weather here...cool breeze, in 70s, sunny. Today we had a driver take us around town, including up a mountain to get a bird's eye view of Addis. 7 million people live here believe it or not!
Tomorrow we will have a driver take us in a van south of town, closer to where our children are from. We may not make it all the way to Arsi Negelle, but at least we can video the countryside and capture a bit of what their homeland is like. We will pick up our kids around 10 AM on Monday.
We appreciate your prayers for getting over our jet lag (3 of us haven't slept much in two days), safety, continued health, and of course, a good transition for our children.
Blessings,
Julie
