In reply to the discussion: Good Grief - Pastor killed by crocodile while baptising [View all]DrDan
(20,411 posts)19. we were in Ethiopia for 2 years - in Addis Ababa
just a wonderful country populated with incredibly friendly people. We returned a couple years back and ran into some folks we knew while living there in the '70's. I was a tennis coach at the private school where we taught. One of the ballboys while we were there is now the school's coach. It was wonderful catching up with him and reminiscing about some of the finer players from those days.
We were also able to track down the house we lived in. That was no small task considering the changes in the past decades plus the lack of street names in the city. But we found it (with the help of a driver) and the current resident was kind enough to invite us in for some pictures and conversation. It was a surreal experience.
