We started our journey on Friday, the 17th of May 2013 around 8 o'clock, but because of a lot of traffic and traffic jams and our lunch break, we arrived in the evening at 30 minutes past 6. Lunch we had in a restaurant which looked really nice and clean, but the services didn't belong to that hotel. The food came quite late and mine and Boniface's chicken was cold. So we sent it back, because it was really not nice to eat, but as they brought it back, it was sti...

First of all, now that I'm uploading this I'm in an extreme hurry because it is already raining and we are afraid that we are not able to cross to Dhadim anymore.

But of course there are also a lot of people which go to the market not for the animals. Aft...

Yesterday, we travelled 14 hours from Dhadim to Addis Ababa by car, because we have to do a few things in Addis Ababa like changing my driving license and picking up some guests. Since my last entry, many things happened. On Tuesday the first of January, we had a little dinner in our garden. The whole clinic staff came because one man went in Retirement and a second one found another job. We ate goat and talked a lot. But because many things were in Borana Langu...
