Notoriety in Lalibela





The Grade 5 field trip gives me an opportunity to check out Derbo’s new souvenir shop, as well as bring in some much needed customers, for Lalibela is devoid of tourists at the moment. 

I urge him to rethink the shop’s name, but he is insistent. In fairness, he has done up the space nicely, and has taken on my idea of printing business cards.



I also get to meet his family for the first time, who celebrate my arrival with a coffee ceremony. His mother makes the mot incredible cup of jo made from beans grown from the neighbouring village. We also feast on one of the tastiest white honey i’ve experienced. 

 Derbo's mum and step father

 and a variety of siblings and family
