My Trip Around the World: Dire Dawa, Ethiopia


I've arrived in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia! It is very nice here. I went to my hotel checked in, dropped my stuff off and then went out to shop for a snow globe. Once I found one I went to go explore the streets. I met a lot of very nice local people. One girl even let me take her picture. After I was done meeting some of the locals I went to go shop at the stores they have in Dire Dawa. When the day was done I went back to my hotel and went to bed.
