The next few days

The next two days we also visited Olivia at the WACAP House, where she had been since June 1. It was fun to hang out with her and try to get to know her a bit. We were also able to witness another family in our travel group meet their child for the first time. It was such an intense time, and it was an honor to share in the experience with them.

In the afternoons we visited the National Museum of Ethiopia and did some shopping to purchase a few souvenirs.

This was Olivia's bed at the WACAP House where she was from June 1 through August 8, 2010.

The door to her room is the first one on the left, and the windows on the left side of the picture are windows into her room. She shared this room with five other babies and two nannies.

We were able to experience a few traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremonies during our time in Ethiopia. This was one of them. The woman in the picture first roasted the beans in the pan and then made the coffee. Ethiopia is known for their coffee.

Entrance to the National Museum of Ethiopia. The cost to enter was approximately $1.80 per person. Things were very cheap in Ethiopia. Meals typically cost us about $3 per person including drinks.
