Day One in Addis

A snapshot from Kyle's first day:

"For dinner John, Asrat, Fikre and I went to a local pizzeria. After dinner, John and I took a walk. Halfway through the walk we were joined by a little boy of maybe 8 years of age. His name was Pedrish (sp?). He walked beside us for perhaps a mile. He said nothing and I played with him with my flashlight. He simply stared at us with a smile and walked down the street seemingly proud to be associated with the only two grown white men around. After a while, he had to turn back. We said "bye bye". He said "bye bye." That was it. If I'd had something to give him, I would have, but maybe in some small way we did."
