"Could you put the hand down", I gestured as clearly as I knew how, not knowing a damn
word of Amharic. Oh wait ...Agasaganaga...la..ga or something like that: hello. Yes, I did
learn a word. He responded, the hand came down, I smiled, lifted the camera to my eye.
Hand went back up ...repeat two or three times until I finally just snap a shot.
So much for foreign relations.
Extremely nice man though.
