The rest of the story for May 27th that is

1743. Nce afternoon! While I napped Karl decided to walk down the main road from our guest house and he met a 10 year old boy named Abraham. The first thing he asked Karl was if he was American and the second thing is if we were adopting. Abraham told Karl a little about the gambella region (where Ajura and Ahmi are from) and he said "They are smart, they come here as teachers." he took Karl to a market to try to find ibuprofen. No luck, here you have to by ibuprofen at the pharmacy (which are everywhere). Karl tried to buy him a soda and he declined. After more persistence on Karl's behalf he allowed Karl to buy some cooking oil for his mother and Karl threw in a soda. Karl says thankful for the company. He then met another group of kids ranging from 2.5-16 (estimates) who hang out by the hotel. He knows all their names. He layer soccer with them behind the hotel all afternoon until he came to get me. We then together went out back and I took photos (well I took a few, you know how kids with cameras are) and Karl played more soccer. The 2.5 year old girl was named Beyonce. Haha! She love d to just touch things and my skin. They all had to touch my tattoo. I really enjoyed a 7th grade girl named Geri. She wants to be a pilot. And loves physics. She loved looking at the photos of Haiti on the camera. There was a very nice 16 year old boy who wants to be a doctor. He loved the pictures of the operating room in Haiti. Stayed with the kids for about 45minutes then sat at the cafe in front of our guest house and had 2 bottles of water and tiramisu for $1.50 (30 birr). 2200. Had a nice dinner at the restaurant upstairs. Karl had this awesome beef kabob. The beef is really lean and more venison like. It was yummy! I had a pasta dish that was ok. After dinnerwe just hung out in our room. Oh, I forgot! Karl tasted two of the local beers and they were tasty! We Skyped with my parents and Bill. Went to bed at 2300.
