Moving today
We’re at the end of the stay at our funky guest-house, which means we’re moving to a lovely suite at the orphanage guest-house and won’t have to schlepp across town anymore. Hurray!
Yesterday we went to visit a shop that sells goods made by former women wood-carriers, who have very hard lives lugging wood from the countryside into the city to make pitifully small amounts of money. We also visited Entoto market. So we’re now well stocked on souvenirs. We took Maia to the Ghion hotel, where there was a fairground. And then we walked over to Horizon House to spend some time with Malkias.
Maia’s getting very good at football.
She loves holding her little brother.
So do I.
And here are some lovely ladies we met at Entoto market.
Malkias is doing very well. He’s babbling like crazy and trying to roll over, but his arm keeps getting in the way. He seems healthy and very bright.

Wow! the shot of Maia and Malkias is just perfect.
Yoda is doing fine. Weather here is very cool, damp and rainy.
The whole town, state and sangha eagerly awaits your return.
Loads of love to Shrijnana.

Thanks, Karunasara. Internet access has been hard to come by since we moved to the orphanage guesthouse, but I’m online now and hope to write more soon.
Love,

The photo of your daughter showing her football skills is lovely. Well, as a typical Brazilian, I love to see young children showing interest in our favorite sport here.
Hi Rosana,
I’m glad you enjoyed the picture. Football is very popular in Ethiopia as well, and i believe that we Scots invented the game. certainly it was played her in the middle ages.
All the best,
Bodhipaksa
