Another Day in Paradise

This country's weather is perfect- mild 75ish! I know that most of the United States are froze over at this point.We went to the American Embassey yesterday and the girls received their US visas and passports.......so we are good to go. In Ethiopia they do not use toliet paper- even at the US Embassy they did not! The Hilton where we are staying does not have soap in the public bathroom. At Kidian Meriat the orphange where the girls are the water has only worked 1 day out of the 4 we have been here. - That means toliets don't flush- hands don't get washed, dishes, and clothes...multiplied by 200 kids that is a lot of something!!!!! For those who know me well I am a germ freak....but somehow-someway I hug and kiss all these wonderful runny nose big-eyed beautiful kids and for once in my life I don't count the germs! Hope to see you soon!!!!!!!!! A
