Farm village in Tigray
As we wandered near this farm, we were invited into a family home by 2 women sitting outside. Immediately we were offered tea and a place to sit. The women had crosses tattooed on their forehead. It was dark with a dirt floor, but tidy. A picture of a priest and baskets were hanging on the wall. We met several generations and all greeted us with smiles. I am confident because of how this interaction occurred that it was NOT offered in expectation of money, but rather as simple hospitality.
