Yesterday was excellent but very tiring. I woke up too early in the morning, my alarm still had 30 minutes before it was supposed to go off, but I couldn’t get back to sleep and was a bit antsy. I used my extra time to go out into the town of Bensa and walk around […]

Yesterday was a good adventure. I think I needed it. The morning didn’t start out too early and I slept in a little which was nice. A crew of us are touring the WFG project sites over the next few days—yesterday we arrived in Bensa. We left Hawassa around 8:00am and got out to Bensa

Yesterday was good and boring. I woke up around 6, had my breakfast of 6 eggs and then off to work. One of my favorite things are these donkey riders. Carts and donkeys are used frequently for transporting large quantities of goods around the city. But when there’s nothing on the carts, the guys (sometimes

Yesterday was a fairly lazy day. I spent most of it reading. I’m a little upset because the WiFi at the house stopped working this weekend and the landlord wasn’t too urgent about fixing it. It’s not too big of a problem because I can just walk the 10 minutes to the office and settle

Wow! Yesterday was day 100! Unfortunately I was tired and in a bad mood because I was kept up by mosquitoes invading my room. But when I did get up around 9, I started my day off with a run around part of the Hawassa lake. The lake is close to 50 miles in diameter,

It seems like my life is going to be wonderfully boring. In one respect I love having a routine and structure, but I don’t exactly enjoy sitting at a desk all day doing similar things all the time. And right now it looks as if I’m going to have a good balance (and have to

Wowwww. I’m very impressed looking at that number. But, I just did the some math because I was interested and my entire planned stay is 247 days. So I’m only about 2/5 of the way through. This is exciting, but I’m also a bit sad because I miss home. Anyways, yesterday was good and boring.

Yesterday I arrived in Hawassa where I will be living and working for the next two months!! I can’t believe that only 24 hours ago I was still in Addis Ababa. All the traveling is making time move super slow and me super tired. I really enjoyed Addis—the lifestyle, the pace of things, the environment—so

Yesterday was great. After 12 hours of sleep I was feeling like the jet lag was gone—it wasn’t until like 6pm that it hit me again, but at that point I was back to the hotel and ready for dinner. I left for the office around 8:30 and started work at 9:00. I think I’m

Yesterday was great. Although I was very tired, I was able to power through. After all the flight craziness, I got off in Addis Ababa, bags and flights all figured out. I had a tricky time finding the driver that WFG had organized for me, but I got some strangers to call the guy and
