New Year in Ethiopia
September 11, 2014 marked the start of a new year in Ethiopia. It is now officially 2007 here. It is a joyous time celebrated with families getting together for a feast - usually Doro Wat (a type of chicken stew). I went up to my great friend Tihut's mom's house in Shashamane and we had a terrific lunch. Abraham was invited along as well. At midnight, there were even some fireworks to welcome in the new year.
