The highlight of this day was the traditional Ethiopian dinner and dance session. We had a lot of fun with our host and the other families. The food and drink were great and we were incorporated into the show.

Day One... (Dec 26th)
For our first day we had a whirlwind tour of Addis Ababa. In the morning we went shopping. We did not do so well with the bargaining and in one case I am pretty sure we bargained the price up. After Shopping we headed to the national museum. Our guide through the museum was very interesting and passionate about the country. After the museum we went to lunch and then to a museum of the former presidential palace located on Addis Ababa University's campus. After this museum we went to the Hilton to confirm our seats for the flight home (a necessary step to prevent you tickets from being arbitrarily being cancelled).
