The local kids put my kids' futbol skills to shame, but bring out the balloons and there's no contest. Clearly, my kids have the edge in the balloon war.

Welcome to the Per patch
Per pauses on a hike to consult his bird book. |
The path connecting our house to the neighbors. |
Red hot pokers! |
Brief moments of sunshine! |
Gonder taxis! |
Inside a castle |
This castle lost its roof when it got bombed in WWII. The Italians moved their headquarters to the castles hoping the Brits would not bomb them there. They were wrong. |
Inside the royal lion cages. |
The 'lockers' in the royal baths. |
The center of Gonder, the piazza (named during the Italian occupation). |
Elsa enjoying some incense. |
Coffee ceremony! Ethiopia is where coffee originated and they take their coffee pretty seriously. |
Elsa passed out reading her kindle |
Home school! Yes we homeschool. No, we are not going to start making our own clothes or voting for Santorum. |
Yes, the kids do leave the room. In fact, the mall down the road has some pretty cool video games--here Elsa is flying a jet that moves along with game. Sure beats Space Invaders. |
