A few pictures of Addis

Here are some photos we took as we walked to and from the children's care center on Saturday. The weather was spectacular- high 60's low 70's, cloudless. It's less than a 15 minute walk from door to door, but the streets can be crowded with people and cars, and the walking itslef is often tough- over broken concrete and rocks. In some of these pics, you'll see other families who are adopting as well.
We stopped in a tiny grocery store and found the nanny-approved formula and diapers, stopped in another hole-in-the-wall store and bought pretty scarves to wrap around our faces during tomorrow's dusty trip to the south.
The only thing missing from these street shots are cars and trucks whizzing by, very close, blowing their horns. :-) Oh! And on our way home in the aternoon, we were trudging along, when Kent said "Isn't that Randy Travis?" And yes, it was- blaring the stereo system some guys had set up by the side of the road, in front of a little cafe- country western music filled the air.
