On Day 3, we went to see Keane around 10:00am. We stayed at the orphanage for almost 2 hours and were able to spend a lot of time playing with him!
We went to lunch at Loti Restaurant, where Mike was able to get a nice filet for around $5. He said it was really good. I had a fabulous vegetable pizza, and we had a great time getting to know the other couples better! After lunch, we went shopping at some of the local stores for souvenirs and items for Keane when he gets older. Mike was really excited to do some bartering, but I just wanted to get the things we wanted and get out. :) Most of the stores were really small, and it was crazy and cramped when all of us were in there at the same time. Abel was great - he helped with bartering and getting a good price for all of the things we bought!
Next, we traveled to the top of Mt. Entoto and went through a museum, saw St. Mary's Church, and King Medilik II's original compound. It was so great to see some sights in Ethiopia. (I can't wait to see more of the rural areas on our next trip.)
We returned to the guesthouse and had pasta and traditional Ethiopian food with the other families. :)
