This is ingera & wots. Ingera is the thin, sour, pancake like substance that you covers the plate. The concoctions on the ingera are different kinds of wots: some made of green beans & carrots (these are quite yummy... kinda taste like my g'mas!)... then there's some with cabbage & beats... Shiro which is a soupy bean substance... this is their staple wot - kind of like our peanut butter & jelly. There are also some that have strips of goat meat called tibs or doro wat which is spicy & is made with chicken and hard boiled eggs. Quite delightful.
This is our street! I walk up and down this street everyday and smile at the women who work in the shops... love it.
I don't think picture really requires a comment or explanation. It simply stands alone.
Bags of different grains at this little open air market in our neighborhood.
This kitty was also found... and for those of you who know me... I'm a sucker for kittens. (Note: the piece of lettuce on the kitty's back was not staged.)
And finally, my favorite boy in Africa. He teaches me Amharic... mainly the names of animals. Asa is fish. Ambassa is lion. Samae is sky. That's all I got.

the portrait of the boy is really a beautiful shot, joy... and the composition of the sacks of grain is great - you're turning into quite the photographer.
