Still wrapping up our time with visitors, we went out one night to a restaurant with cultural dancing. The Littles love these restaurants and proudly demonstrated the how-tos of Ethiopian cuisine.
Washing our hands before the meal
Little A does a not so cultural eating of the chicken wing
These are the faces when the dancers were on stage. The girls are their groupies.
The Littles showed Nick and Kristen the “Gorsha” which is when you prepare a bite and feed it to someone you feel affectionately towards.
The girls gorsha-ed until they were sick.
Lately my attempts at posting a video have been unsuccessful, so here are three links:
Glad Everyone Washed Their Hands (a 40 second clip with everyone eating with their hands from a communal tray)
Gorsha! (J and A give gorshas but my favorite part is how they say it every time-12 seconds)
Little A Imitates a Traditional Dancer (Maybe my favorite, insane moves by the dancer, cute moves in admiration by the child)

LOVE the videos!! Was that Yod Abysinnia? SUCH good food there!!!! What a fun night!
Love it! Brings back memories! :) Which place is this?
Love the post and the videos. Did you notice that in the first video Little J (I think) is working on being "fancy" with her pinkies up? We miss you and laughing with you! I have not been given a gorsha in over 1 week! :)
Yes, it is Yod Abssyinia. :) We have another one we like the food at more, but the dancing has become very sketchy, so we switched to Yod and it was great!
Kris, I am sure the girls would love to give you a gorsha ANYtime. :)
Tait & I loved the videos. Recently trent took me on a surprise date to a local ethiopian place & we thought about you guys a LOT and wished you were there to explain everything to us! And now that you've explained the gorsha, we'll have to go back. The coffee ceremony was really cool too. Miss you all! M
