12/9/09

This is a week of feasts in our small town.  It is the final week that we are here before we move on to our permanent sites and all the host families seem to want us over for a meal.  Last night we had a huge meal of doro (chicken), injera, gomen (various greens), dabo (bread), rice, carrots, misr wat (a spicy sauce), quinoa wat (I'm not really sure what this is, but it's similar to couscous), soft drinks, muz (bananas), and bunna (coffee).  It was a fantastic meal and the chicken was the best meat I've had here in country outside of a restaurant.
 
Saturday, Peace Corp is holding an appreciation dinner for the host families and volunteers.  Sunday, another host family is having us over for lunch and we are having pasta and some arabian dish.  For supper we are going to another house, then for supper on Monday night we are going to one other house.  It's crazy, but it makes me feel so good that they want to do something so nice for us.  We will definitely miss this place that we have lived for the last 8 weeks, but we are looking forward to our next location.
