I think I mentioned that my favorite taxi driver, Tsegaye, has almost lost his taxi to bad repairmen. I helped him a little with repairs, but I think the whole thing is lost. That means I have had to scramble to find others rides; so far I have been able to travel safely even in blue taxis. It helps to just act like you know what you are doing even if you don’t. And I know enough of the language to understand the cost BEFORE you get into the taxi!
Ken Marrs is soon to arrive. We will work together in the countryside for a few days.
To those who know Elias, I attended his wedding ceremony this morning, 6AM! Quite interesting in the Orthodox tradition. Lots of incense, drums, and what I would call chanting. Someone tried to get me to kiss a Bible but I declined! Both he and his bride looked great! I will visit in their home this next Monday.
Time to go. Love to all. Randy
