Well, my trip has come to an end. Today was my last full day in Ethiopia, I leave tomorrow around lunchtime. I always hate the goodbyes, especially when I don't even want to leave.
This morning we went to Sendafa. It was a bit busy, we had to hand out some more salt and vitamins to the kids, then we had a meeting with a water official, then we saw one of the existing wells (Andre and Felix, from Water Missions International, had some work that they wanted to do on it), then it was off to the Beke church to see how the construction was going. After that we came back to Addis. I rested this afternoon and started to pack.
Later in the afternoon I went out for a machiatto with Ruth and then I invited everyone out to dinner. We had a nice time at dinner, though I would have liked to stay with all of them longer. I think some of them are going to try to come to the airport to see me off tomorrow, so that will be nice.
But I'm really having a hard time leaving, I know I've said it before and I'm sorry for being repetitive. It's just that it was so hard for me to be away from here and from these people over the last year and I am not looking forward to dealing with that again. I know it's good for me to come back, mostly because I have a lot of stuff that I need to do in order to finish preparing to move here. But that doesn't make it any easier.
Well, it's past midnight here, and considering I have a long trip tomorrow I should get some rest.
See you all soon.
Tebareku.
