You are correct. Here in Ethiopia "Galla" is and has been an insusting reference to the "Oromo" ethnic group. My use of the term dates me and I've made efforts to correct myself here.
I've been somewhat frustrated these last few days in finding a computer set-up that will accept my thumbdrive so I can post my journal. Everything is still going very well.
Today is the commemoration of the Battle of Aduwa, the defeat of the Italian invasion of 1898!
My schedule today is to meet with John Graham, the travel editor, for lunch.
Then I go searching for more gifts.
I hope to send one of my longer posts if I get access to a better computer today.
