The other evening Walker and I did numerous searches of places to eat within walking distance of where his new place is. We’d been walking all day so we didn’t want to walk far and really didn’t have the energy to. Most of the places were at least a half mile or more away. We almost gave up until I happened to notice an Ethiopian place just a few blocks away. We still went back and forth as to whether we felt like going out but eventually we decided we’d feel lame if we didn’t.

Boy was I glad we didn’t stay in. We both knew immediately that we had made a good choice and that we were going to like it. The ambiance alone was worth it. There was Ethiopian coffee cooking on coals, a live plant growing up onto the walls and ceiling, Ethiopian music videos playing, and we were one of two couples dining. It was so quiet and relaxing, just what we needed.

We tried an Ethiopian beer and some red tea. We chose to split a meal and that was also a good choice because it was basically two meals in one. We were both quite full and more than satisfied. The owners were so sweet too and helpful. We’ve already decided that we’ll be back to breakfast while I’m still here on this trip. Can’t wait!
