Yesterday I took Addis, Mulu, Sarah, Joe, Anna & Adah to the Red Sea Restaurant here in San Diego. Our friend Shad joined us! The girls had no idea that they could have injera here in America. They thought we had to fly back to Ethiopia for it. Don't know if I'm ready for that flight just yet, but driving fifteen or so miles seemed much closer.
The waitress was very nice and was able to talk to the girls in Amharic. She asked them what they wanted off the menu for me. She was also able to ask them how old they were. Six and Eight were the answers on age.
We ended up ordering Tibs, and a stewed beef, and the vegetable combo which featured split peas, collard greens, salad and another thing or two that was unrecognizable. It was quite tasty and the girls loved it.
An older lady came out from the kitchen to give the girls a welcome, a hug and a kiss. We told them we would be back. We have to! It's the closest thing they have here in America of their homeland.

That was so cool I wish I would have been there, would have liked to sample the food, I see Mulu wearing her new hoodie...goodie!
