Kayla getting her legs done with henna
Kayla and my last day, Monday October 26th, was spent shopping at the French school market and having our hands and legs beautifully painted with henna. Zemi had a Muslim lady come to our room and paint our hands, arms and legs. It is a Muslim custom that merely signifies beauty. We were originally going to have it done at the wedding preparation ceremony of some of Zemi’s relatives a few days ago, but that was cancelled, so Zemi arranged for this. As you can see from the pictures, it is beautiful! It will last about 2 weeks to a month. Our shopping experience was great as always.
Kayla's beautiful arms!
And my leg!
We pack tonight for our departure to Uganda tomorrow morning, Tuesday, October 27th. Our plane leaves at 10:45, so we will leave the hotel at 8:00 in the morning. I look forward to the second part of our journey. As fun and exciting as Ethiopia has been, I know that Uganda is just as if not more amazing! Our group will be about 14 or 15 members, so we become much closer and form life lasting friendships. Here we come Gulu, Northern Uganda!
