Town Pictures - Thursday, Jan 28, 2010

On Thursday when we were at HH, some of the guys went out looking for music and some other things. Here are pictures Dan took while he was out and about. I can't really say much about them, but they are neat to look out.

This is traffic in Addis

This gives you an idea of the traffic.

And our last day in Ethiopia starts...at least for one of us it had!
One of the shirts we had found online for mason.

Go, K-State!

Here we are loaded into a van for our final trip to HH. Mason getting some loving...

The special mothers at HH. So many women to love on the babies!

And more lovin!

This lovely lady loved Mason. We were told she would take him to her office many days and he would just hang out in there with her. I think it is awesome that she helped 'prepare' him for us and his time in my office here.

And some more lovin!

With another little girl hunting down the 'office lady'.

This is an older boy who was there and spent some time playing with Mason. I have so many great pictures of them playing together.

Our last view of Almaz waving goodbye to us all as we head out of HH for the last time.!

Outside the gat of HH, beautiful flowers lined the walls.

Down the road from HH this man was sitting at his sewing maching, I am assuming, waiting for some work to do.

People coming and going...
