Last day in Addis, Ethiopia

It was our last day in Ethiopia, we couldn't believe it! It was bittersweet for us, this trip has not only impacted our family with the addition of this amazing girl, but also our lives. We have met some wonderful people, experienced a completely different way of life, and attempted to absorb as much as possible about the Ethiopian culture.

One of the last things on our list was to visit Sabahar Silk Factory. It was interesting to see the silk worms, the women spinning the silk and the final product! There were so many amazing scarfs and even tablecloths, that if we wish we had more room (well any room) in our luggage for these incredible pieces!

One of the other things left on our list was a massage at the Boston Day Spa. For an incredibly cheap price you get an unbelievable 1 1/2 hour massage! Our favorite masseuse, Tigest, is simply amazing. She is short but very strong and we have grown to get to know each other over the last couple of months. She has an 8 month old boy so we had lots to talk about.

Since we had a 17 hr plane flight it only seemed appropriate to treat ourselves to one last massage.
