Friends, Pontotocans, Foreigners, It has been kinda lonely since we dropped the group off at the airport at about eight Thursday night. For most of the time that we have been home the power has been off, so this is the first chance i have had since- whenever I wrote my last email. But yesterday we went to Yosies for lunch. It was the first time for Rebeker and I in an Ethiopian home. It was a good place to start, because we cannot offend Yosie by doing something wrong. Of course Mr.A could not anyway, because, people here say, he is Ethiopian. I think I want to be Ethiopian too. The people here are the most courteous people that I have ever met (despite the way they drive). And the culture (did you ka-no that some places in the world have those?) is like, way cool. I am learning a few things about it. I have been asking Mr. A about things that I see Ethiopians do, some of the things came in handy when we went into an Ethiopian home. After we left Yosies at about four, we dropped Mr. A off at a friends house, and Yosie drove R. and I back to Joes. We read a little, then did Greek language studies with Joe for about an hour. Then it was getting dark, so since the power was out we lit the candles, and Joe got out his guitar and sang oldies till Mr. A got back. then we all sat around and waited for the power to come back on until 10:15 at which point we gave up and went to bed. this morning I got up, and got on the computer.

Celebrating a simple life,

Trey
