Ethiopia

Ethiopia, my Ethiopia.


People packed into blue & white taxi vans, coffee, traffic, cafés and juice bars, staring children, staring adults, laughing people, foreign Amharic words tingling my ears, injera with doro wot, avacado juice, groups of joggers running around Meskel square at sunset, lines of soldiers along the street, friends, festivals, stomach pain, markets, bustle and incredible beauty.


What can I say?
Sometimes I miss Ethiopia so much, I think about it with such eagerness and tenderness.
I remember standing out so much but I remember fitting in so well. What can describe such a place?
One day I will go back and enjoy it's beauty again, journey through it's difficulties and experience the new things that will come.
