Injera for 11 days?

Starting tomorrow, I plan to eat injera every day for the next 11 days! Mmm... I can hardly wait!

Yup, I'm off on my summer holidays tomorrow! I'm supposed to arrive in Addis Ababa at about 8:30pm tomorrow evening. I'll spend the next day with Hiwet, one of my dearest friends who lives there, then other friends Janet and Steve are coming from various directions (Steve from Canada, Janet from Kenya) and we'll go do something fun. Not sure what we'll do yet... but I'm armed with a Lonely Planet book and a vague notion of the fact that I want to see old churches and eat injera.

So please pray that we all get along well (you never quite know how you're going to get along with people when you're travelling!), and that I have a restful time. I really need a rest, 'cause I'm tired. And pray that details work out, too... you never quite know what's going to happen when you try to do budget travel in Africa! But I'm sure it's going to be an amazing time.

Since blogspot blogs are censored in Ethiopia, I won't be posting until I return... and hopefully will have some stories to tell... though not TOO many stories...!

why are they censored?

Censored because they just don't like people to be able to say anything against the government over there. Freedom of speech isn't a high priority for them! Don't tell them I said that... but then again, they can't read my blog, so they'll never know... :)
