On our way back from buying a few groceries for the trip to Kembata, we passed a mother and her two children on the street. The boy was maybe four and the girl looked about 3. They asked for money for food. We gave them the 10 birr we had (one dollar) and decided to go up to the room to get some more stuff for them. I picked out two sweaters that mom and I had made and a couple of tennis balls. We also gave the children's mother 100 birr. The kids were over the moon happy. They both kissed and hugged us. They had grins from ear to ear. Later when we passed again they were wearing the sweaters (it gets cool in the evening) and playing with the balls. As soon as they saw us they immediately ran up again to see us and give us another hug. They were so cute. Sweet little kids.
We found a restaurant that serves Italian and Indian food (odd combination). We opted for Indian. It was very very good. We enjoyed talking to the waiter who's english was quite good. We slept a good part of the afternoon as we still have not adjusted to the time difference. I thought I would not be sleepy tonight, but I am already tired again.
