Harare
From a distance it looks like any other US city. I just managed to get the last few blogs from Ethiopia on the site, so go backwards and find the ones you have not read. I am sorry, but I could only get 2 pictures to load onto the internet. Maybe I can catch up later with more pictures.
There was not enough fuel to travel today, but we have fuel for tomorrow. That means I will get out of the city to see some of the countryside. Harare is just like any other city, except there are great shortages of goods. I went shopping in their department stores and the perfume cases contained one or two bottles. This was very strange to see. This city seems very much like those in the states, except, whites who live and work here stand out. More on that later. Getting some rest today! Love to all!!!!

Yes, you're touching many people...
Kim- Your entries are thought-provoking, saddening, uplifting. Thank you for sharing the positive side of things, along with the heart-wrenching experiences you're having. I, like so many, am sitting here with tears in my eyes as I consider all that I have, and ponder the plight of the sick and dying people you're encountering. The hopefulness that is evident in the people is a testament to their great faith. God bless you as you continue your journey. On a lighter note- we love Ethiopian food! We frequent a restaraunt in L.A. that serves the traditional way, and whenever anyone visits us that's always one of our stops. Eugene and Jelani are both left-handed- no issue here, but Eugene did learn to eat with the right when he traveled in Africa! Love from all of us- The Blunts
