Day 1: Arrival in Addis Ababa (March 12)


Apologies for not posting this sooner! My first night's stay in Ethiopia was an economical choice: what I got for the money was wonderful, but it didn't include any high-speed/wifi internet. I did, however, get to send an important e-mail over a dialup connection.

March 12 was originally planned as a throwaway day. The end of March 10th and all of the 11th would involve waiting in Dulles International for twelve hours and being in the air for another twelve. I expected to reach my destination and collapse from jet lag, because (as was once again the case) I'm not good at falling asleep while inside of airplanes.

It turned out to be a robust and eventful day instead.
