Photos!!






I know I promised them long ago, but here's my first attempt at adding photos to the narrative. Let me know if they're visible...
-First you see two shots from the Addis to Moyale roadtrip - somewhere in the highlands between Awassa and Agare Mariam, and then somewhere between Yabello and Moyale.
-The three Somali women represent the women's group in the settlement of Bede, which I visited on the shorter-than-expected field trip on my first venture to Moyale.
-Next you'll find a blurry group photo of myself with three SC Moyale coworkers: one of the guards, my translator/advisor/friend, and the woman who does everything from clean the floors, to bring us tea, and attempt to bring me to Somali language proficiency (it's slow going...).
-And last, one of my Italian housemates and I enjoying our favorite vegetarian meal of shiro tegamino. Incidentally, I ate it for my last Moyale lunch today as well. It's delicious.

And now I'm going to cross my fingers and press the "pubblica post" button. Enjoy!

oh and, i looked up "shiro tegamino" because i'm obsessed with foods and it said, "habas con una salsa picante" (it didn't say in english when i looked for it).

is it really fava beans with spicy sauce? i happen to be fascinated with fava beans.
