Souvenir total: 3

Today we all got coffee pots!! They are in the traditional Wolayta design with long necks and round bottoms. They had gorgeous designs on them and when we asked one of the local men who work with us what say he laughed and said “15 bir”. Literally that’s what they say – Haha! Mine actually says “gator” and “lizard” on it which I think is quite fitting since we’re Gators.
Our other souvenirs are spear tips which we bought from a local blacksmith here on the mountain. They are really wicked looking and I can’t wait to put them up as decoration when I return home. We also have gotten little woven baskets that one of the local elders made for us. They look like the little baskets that would hold cobras in movies.
