"Amanda,
We are here and doing well. I slept well last night compared to 2004! Eric is my roommate. We had bugs in our bed, but other than that and an uncomfortable bed, it was ok. We are going to SIM today to see if they have any room, if they do than we might move. I am emailing you from Dawit's shop. The city has grown some and even looks more modern. The airport is alot nicer and there weren't as many beggars outside the airport. The city even has a McDonald's from what we here! It seems like it is a bit nicer than before. Last night when we arrive we ate injera. It was good! We ate outside by a fire. Today, we went to a cafe for breakfast...I got toast. The plane ride was long! We had NO layovers so it was about 15 hours on the same plane which included a refuel. It was okay...but very cramped and full!
Hope everything is going well. I love you and miss you very much. Tell M&M hello!"
...I am so thankful for the modern ways of communication like e-mail! I know that 20 years ago or so I wouldn't have had the luxury of talking to my husband who is half way around the world! I will keep you posted...
