Life in Ethiopia...This time last year





This time last year - everything was still fresh and exciting to us. Fasika (Easter) in Ethiopia is a very important holiday and celebrated differently to the way it is at home. 

Last year we went to Ababa Villa (www.abbabasvilla.com) for their 'fasting' (vegan) brunch. It was a beautiful day spent eating great food, relaxing in their amazing garden while listening to a live jazz band & meeting new people from all over Addis Ababa. 
We hope that Ababa Villa chooses to do it again ~ we'll be there!
