Addis Ababa

We were shuttled through Addis Ababa to the Wabe Hotel. The hotel had the smallest elevators. It would only hold a few at a time and was a scary ride. We all had our own room with a balcony. Dinner was served and then it was off to bed. Addis Ababa is a big city. I was surprised at the poverty and how dirty the city was. The mountains that surrounded the city were beautiful. The people had the most beautiful faces. I young boy kept trying to sell me something on the bus. His smile would have brighten even the saddest person. He was living such a poor life and yet his smile was so bright and big it would have lit up the city. His face lingers even to day in my mind.
Our flight today is only 1 and half hours to Nairobi. It was a short flight and I got an bulk head seat...Lots of leg room.
I was feeling a little run down today. I guess 16 hours on a plane will have that effect. I an anxious to get to Kenya. I am anxious to see the school and see the children.
I tried to post and check e-mail. It took almost 10 minutes to load the Yahoo homepage. I will not complain about dial up service any more. The service was slower here.
