Girls Visit Our Hotel
Tonight, we are planning to go to an Ethiopian restaurant and show with our driver/interpreter. The girls came to our hotel with us early afternoon since the restaurant is close to our hotel. We were not sure how "T" would do so he remained at the care center. This time, it would be just us and the girls. No interpreter!! Oh me, oh my.
The girls are getting pretty accustom at using gestures or showing us things when we do not understand. We also learned the word for "what is it" in Tingriya which is pronounced phonetically "tie-i-ba-hall". Easy, don't you think!! The girls had already eaten lunch so we had a snack although it was really more like lunch. It was kabobs and chicken tempura. "A" ate like a champ and tried most everything. "G" was a bit more reserved and said that she was full. But both girls drank their orange soda.
The roof of the hotel was our next visit. We climbed the five flights of stairs and entered the roof area of the building where we could see much of Mekelle. "A" was a bit adventurous and was steps ahead us. "G" was a bit reserved and wanted to hold Meredith's hand. Later on, the interpreter indicated that "G" missed her brother "T". We're not sure if "A" and "G" were told whether they were coming back to the care center that night.
Later, our interpreter came and took us to an Ethiopian restaurant. The food was delicious!! We had different types of "beef tips, a popular dish here in Mekelle. The tips are served on a iron skillet/stove and kept warm over wood coals. Next, the we were entertained by Ethiopian singers and dancers. It was a neat cultural experience for the girls.
Proud Parents.
Meredith and Jim
