Easter - Ethiopian Style



I’m up all Saturday night. Despite the best efforts of my MP3 player, i unable to block out the wailing of the lone Christian preacher woefully mourning through a distorted sound system bringing in Easter Sunday.

For two months, the local Christians have been on “fasting”, probably related to “Lent” - no meat, milk or dairy products. Sunday is “party” time. Many locals overindulge in everything and the party goes on though the night, vomiting like myself but for different reasons.
