Book - Page 4 & 5

Alexa proving she can “sleep anywhere.” The kids somewhat enjoyed the first 8 hours – playing cards, watching movies, etc. After that, they were ready to get off!
We literally rode into the sunrise. We landed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia at 7:45 AM on Wednesday, November 13. The flight time was 13 hours and 30 minutes.
Africa from the plane looked like a beautiful patchwork quilt.
Ethiopian Air: They fed us so many times we lost count of what meal it was supposed to be. They had a blanket, eye mask, socks, toothbrush and headphones in each seat. We felt like royalty!
After the harrowing experience of getting off the plane and finding our driver, we made it to where we were staying – The Bethel Guesthouse. It is in a neighborhood directly in Addis. Our driver beeped and the guard came and opened the gate door.
After unloading and making it inside, it began pouring rain. We had no idea what that pounding sound was! All the people who worked at the guesthouse were so shocked. Apparently, it very rarely rains outside of the rainy season. This our view from the surrounding sides of the guesthouse.
