Awassa - many days of family gatherings

On Tuesday we went to a Family reunion at home of Uncle T. Many people were gathered from Adanach's Mother's side along with her Aunt from her Father's side.

The family is protestant, so no alcohol is served (and supposedly no dancing, although we saw evidence to the contrary). The typical greeting is kiss to one side of cheek, kiss to the other, and then a third for good measure followed by a sturdy hand shake. Lots and lots of germs, the good kind!

The aunties set out a loaf of the giant, round homemade bread containing the as yet unidentified seeds. Also set out were injera, potatoes, vegetables, salad, a wat and more. Again we ate until full and beyond on the mostly starchy food.
