Just now, at 3:30pm Saturday here in Addis, I witnessed the most incredible hail storm I’ve ever seen! I had to pull the Bug over and hide it against the side of a large building, while huge golf ball-sized hail pounded everything around me.
As the hail slowed I pulled away. When I got to one street I had to ford twenty inches of water in the Bug. I just kept Bluebell in first gear and gunned it the whole way hoping not to stall. Water came in through the floor and hood all around my feet, but she made it! Pretty exciting.
My Mom is supposed to arrive tomorrow at 1:20am and my Aunt who was supposed to meet her in London and arrive with her in Addis, is stuck in D.C.’s airport (major bummer). Hopefully it will all work out.

Trusting the new wave of pilgrim tourists will all arrive safely to enjoy the beauty of Ethiopian Culture and Sites.
