We made it to Bahar Dar last night. Our flight was delayed about two hours, but everyone keeps joking about "Ethiopian time" which basically means it's unreliable and prone to being late. But we were able to play cards and just hang out at the airport while we waited so it was perfectly fine. The 45 minute flight from Addis Ababa to Bahar Dar was nothing compared to our previous two flights.
The guest house we're staying in is surprisingly nice. Really, the only thing that's missing is heated water for showers. But we have a toilet and electricity so we can charge things. One interesting thing is that you don't flush toilet paper here, but throw it in the trash can kept by the toilet. And there's not always TP. But that's why we're thankful for pocket packs of tissue.
We'll be here until the 22 and then we fly back to Addis, I believe, to help with a conference or something. But while we're here our days will consist of quiet time, breakfast, worship, group Bible study, lunch, and then going out in the city to meet with and share with people. We did a prayer walk today around the city and it's nuts how people will come up and start talking or walking with us. We had three cute little boys walk with us the whole hour we were walking. Then we'll usually go out for dinner and then back to our guest house to hang out until the next morning.
Seems like meeting people should be easy. I guess we spend the first couple days meeting people and then start making appointments to sit and talk with them because talking on the street attracts a crowd.
