After 4 hours of sleep I woke up again to say goodbye to Asarat, who went to Fulassa to go there to school and to Abba Anthony who went to Addis Ababa to arrange some things. I only slept 4 hours because I went out again in the middle of the night, because the dogs were bagging and I wanted Abba Anthony to sleep because of the long journey. So I stayed half an hour with the dogs and during that time, I saw a wonderful bright and clear falling star on the nice sta...
