As a team we have begun doing some individual research on Ethiopia. Probably a good idea since we are traveling to the country, huh? I found a great site with lots of information that I thought I'd share:

Just thought I'd share some little tidbits I've learned thus far:
- 83 languages are spoken in Ethiopia
- They have a cereal called Tef that is made from a cereal grain called Ingera. It's a staple food in the Ethiopian diet
- There is an 85% illiteracy rate
- Ethiopia is the orginial home of the coffee plant (all the more reason to buy coffee ;) http://963coffee.com/default.aspx?affiliateID=10154)
Okay, that is all for now. It's not much but is a little bit of an insight. I'll share more as I find it!
