It is 3:20 on July 20,2003. Very confusing but that is truly the time and date here right now. The Ethiopians run of a 12 hour clock that starts when the sun comes up(it is really 9:20am right now). They didn't hear about Christ birth until 7 years after us therefore it is only 2003AD here. They also run on a 13 months calendar thus making it only July 20 today.
Today marks our last day here. This morning we will visit Entoto Mountain and then do some shopping at the market for items to take home. This afternoon we will use the rest of our donation money to buy teff flour for the Adama orphanage and then take food supplies to the Addis orphanage. We fly out at 10:55 tonight so will need to be at the airport at about 8:30.
I will try to post daily in the next week with details, as some of the stories need pictures to really get the full effect!

ReplyDeleteFrom Natalie: I hope you have a safe trip home. I miss you. I want to make you a card to say welcome home. You can have my room at the cottage if you want and I'll sleep with my mom and dad :)
