| This young cattle farmer gave me a great photo op as we passed by on the road to Awassa on March 7, 2011. Time and again, I've seen Ethiopians smile and wave at the mere passing of a Ferengi (white person). Life might be difficult, but smiles are abundant. |

| Here, Addis, Hana and Million play in the water along the shore of Lake Langano. The drive to Awassa from Addis Ababa takes about five hours, so this stop at the Sabana Beach Resort was a welcome respite along the way. |

| We were missing two of our travel mates, Esaiyas (who served as our unofficial tour guide) and Ady (who liked to avoid the bright sun). It was great to be able to take several of the Moria'h House staff to Awassa with us and strengthen the bonds we were building with them. I was grateful that they readily took my boy Million under their wing and showed him great love and affection also. Here, from left to right, are Karen, Addis, Hana, Brad, Million, Jerry and Jean. |

| Even during the dry season it rains sometimes, and we had a doozy of a storm on Monday night upon our arrival in Awassa. So, we chose to drive over to the Lewi Resort on Lake Awassa for some evening refreshments and a few lively games of Crazy 8s. Million seemed to have a special knack for the game and kept winning. I think that was the competitor in him shining through. |
