At last, we're on the final countdown to our Ethiopian adventure. We've been busy running around in preparation for our trip--charging the iPod, hiding money in secret pockets, shopping for miniature bottles of shampoo, etc. This was made all the more difficult by the fact that we were without electricity until 5pm tonight. Why no electricity? Well, our (14-year-old) security guard (who lives in the hallway of the building's main entrance) and his buddy were playing with the building's main electrical wires last night and shorted out the electricity for the entire building. And as nothing gets fixed with much speed here (not to knock the pace of life in Yemen, we're totally digging it), we were without lights for a solid 12 hours. From adventures with electricity in Yemen we head off to find more adventures tomorrow, on the African continent....
We will be gone until the 19th, but promise to post all sort of goodies on the blog when we return.xo,
Bitsy & Nate

If you have time, take a boat trip to Asmara, Eritrea.
It is fascinating place built by the fascist Mussolini to be a little Rome home from home in Africa.
If you don't, you will kick yourself ;)
