yesterday i:

- said goodbye to debre sina and some amazing friends

- travelled 6 hours in the back of a landrover, a romantic thought 6 months ago … now uncomfortable as hell

- stepped in an open sewer immediately upon my return to Addis Ababa (yum)

- went to the Hilton for happy hour drinks … was a little overwhelmed by so many white people everywhere …

- went to the Sheraton Addis … the nicest hotel in Africa, owned by a Saudi Prince … and had a 200birr buffet (about $22CAD, but still more than i would spend on food in 2 weeks in Debre Sina)  … nicest hotel i have ever been too … best meal i have ever eaten … and i am not just saying that because i have eaten only Bay-I-Net for the past 6 weeks … they had GRANNY SMITH APPLES …. GRANNY SMITH APPLES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … i seriously had 15 desserts …

i will put together a real post closing up debre sina and all my many thoughts when i have some time in the next couple days … and this is broadband internet … so pictures should be coming too …

until then …
