I have finally reached my home in Hawassa. It is a beautiful
little town of approximately 250,000 people right beside Lake Awassa. The
differences between Hawassa and Addis Ababa are immediately obvious. The pace is a bit slower,
the air is a lot cleaner, and wildlife abounds. I have only been here for a
little over a day and have seen monkeys, many large and small birds that I have
yet to learn the name of, and a hippopotamus. You can see a picture of my home
below. The community here is very friendly and last night I was out for dinner
with a large group of new friends from all over the world (Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe,
England, Korea, Japan, Canada etc). If my initial impressions are correct, I
will be very happy here.
