We made it!

Team Ethiopia has arrived safely at the Sadula lodge. No problems with flights or customs or getting picked up from the airport. Our hotel is definitely pretty western, although the area we're in is outside of the actual city and seemed maybe a little dodgy from what I could see driving in. We had the usual dilemmas with figuring out if it's appropriate to tip people & how much, etc, but everyone has been really nice. We learned how to say Thank You already, which is something along the lines of ama-say-ganado.... Going to try to sleep a bit and get up at a decent time tomorrow to see what kind of exploring we can do in Addis.
