We were unable to get on blogspot while we were there so we journaled so we could share our experience. We arrived in Addis Ababa late Tuesday evening. We were greeted by one of the kindest, generous person, Abel. From the airport we went to our guesthouse. Birtukan and Nesibu greeted us warmly and then prepared some really awesome soup. Abel handed us our itinerary and in the morning we will meet our little boy. The first night I (jen) was up most of the night because I was worried that we would over sleep and not get up for the big day. So about every hour I woke Ben up to see what time it was. We ended up getting up around 5am. Tuesday morning we had the chance to meet some amazing friends, Luke and Megan. One of the most beautiful things about this adoption journey is the friends that you will make along the way. They met our little boy the day before and told us how cute he was. After an amazing breakfast which every morning birtukan prepares the freshiest breakfast. The juice is always mixed with fresh banana and another fruit. It was so great.
