Lunch at Hotel Pinna

We are attending a forum for water supply, sanitation and hygiene today at the Hotel Pinna, where we're also staying while in Awasa. The participants include a number of international aid organizations, in addition to members from the Ethiopian Ministry of Water Resources. Needless to say, the lunch that was served for the participants was excellent! They had a buffet put out with just about every Ethiopian national dish I'd ever heard of, including an excellent doro kai wat, which is chicken and hard-boiled eggs in a spicy red sauce. J loaded up her plate with that, some veggies and a roll of injeera, and I had the ground beef in red sauce with a roll of red injeera, which is supposedly iron-rich. After lunch, we headed back to the room and I fell asleep for a long nap. I ended up missing most of the afteroon meeting, but will catch tomorrow morning's speakers before we head back to Addis Ababa.
