#29 - try 5 new ethnic cuisines



tonight's dinner at Meskerem, an Ethiopian restaurant in Adams Morgan (D.C.) it was my first time eating Ethiopian food and it was quite good. i went with Albert, Steve, Mike and Jael. we sat on little cushions at low tables.



we shared food from the same large dish and you don't get silverware. you eat the food with the doughy bread that you can see in the 2nd pic. it kinda looks like a folded napkin and it has an interesting consistency.


mike serves up a helping of tasty vittles!

so this was the first new cuisine that i've had since starting the list. actually, that's not entirely true. i had real Japanese food while in Japan, of course, so that should count right? i won't count it, because it gives me an excuse to try something new! next up, Lebanese food.

well, i finished scanning and uploading the photos from my Germany 92 trip. i learned the name of a few things that i saw in Berlin the other day while watching Passport to Europe. nearly 15 years later! i kinda want to go back to Berlin, there's so much more to do and see. this time, i'll have a better idea of what i want to see.

now onto my Europe 2000 album.

last night i finished scanning and uploading the pictures from trip to Mexico in 1992.

this is my favorite photo of this batch.
it really does look like a postcard, doesn't it?
i wish i could go back to all of these Mayan sites with my digital camera,
so that i can get better quality photos of all the places that i visited.

now onto scanning and uploading the pics from my Germany 92 trip.

20. learn how to ice skate - started

101 list update
20. learn how to ice skate - started
i went to my first class today and therefore wore ice skates & skated on ice for the first time.
yay, me!
i didn't even fall, except for the one time the instructor wanted us to fall on the ice.
i'm sure that my thighs are going to be a little sore tomorrow,but it's totally worth it.
i can't wait for next saturday and my next class.
