Last Wednesday, 14 Nov, I had the chance to meet in the flesh one of the Ethiopian adoptive families I’ve befriended over the internet. The family in question is moving to this city and was in town on a house-hunting expedition. We were joined by another local family with a Chinese daughter just a few months younger than Giggles. The two girls have met once before and get along quite well.
We headed out to one of the local Ethiopian-Eritrean restaurants. It is one Giggles and I have visited in the past, and has very nice décor and great food. Their injera is very light and thin, and the wats are tasty. They have enough non-spicy food options to satisfy the less adventurous Canadian palates in the crowd, as well as some hot and fiery doro wat.
It was a lovely, relaxing evening among good company on a wet and windy November in this northern burg. Family #1 has had their court date and is waiting for the file to go to immigration processing. Family #2 is just beginning the homestudy, so has a ways to go yet. It’s good to meet up with friends.
