We definitely improved our market experience today with the help of our guide Sami. We were actually able to find the craftsman weaving traditional Ethiopian baskets, identify the smell of Frankincense, and broaden our understanding of how spices (some unique to Ethiopia) are used in local food.
At the National Museum we met Lucy. And yes, the archeologists that discovered her did name her after the Beetles song. Ethiopians refer to her as Dinkinesh which means "you are marvellous" in Amharic. Dinkinesh--fearfully and wonderfully made. You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.
