Our first night in Addis we ate an authentic Ethiopian restaurant. Quite the experience.
The Feast: Injera is the name. Injera is the Ethiopian staple bread. It's a thin crepe like flat bread that the dishes such as Wots, Tibs and Fitfit are served on. To eat the dishes, pieces of injera are torn off and used to scoop up mouthful.
Taking my first bite. Not too bad, but not my favorite. Has a strange vinegar taste to it.
Randy, Shelly, Dad (Craig), Mom (Robyn).
Dad, Mom, DeAnna Kennard (mom to everyone in Ethiopia and founder/president of Village of Hope), Worknesh and Shimelis (the guides: aka know everything, translate everything, get us good deals, know where everything is....just basically the "can't live without" people of Ethiopia. Wonderful.
