Mylomin Goat BBQ
This weekend saw the demise of yet another goat in the name of us having a party and bonfire over at Mylomin. Andy and Chris at the Abi Adi teacher training college had organized the party for all the staff at the college and had invited me along too. So chance to have a 6am start on a Saturday morning – early enough to help jump start the bus out of the bus station.
I arrived in Abi Adi just in time for Andy to have finished negotiating buying the goat – quite a lot more expensive (420 birr) than the kid we had a few weeks ago – but there were going to be many more of us this time, so we needed the extra meat!
Mylomin is a natural spring (you can buy Mylomin bottled water in most places here), but (fortunately) there is also a bar, owned by Andreas, who works part time at the college. Andreas insisted on showing me around and taking me over to the tej house just down the road. Tej is a local alcoholic drink made from honey, traditionally drunk from oversized Orangina shaped bottles and, like the tella, it’s a bit of an acquired taste!
Anyway here are some photos:
A happy healthy goat:
A now ex-goat – not a photo for vegetarians!
Final notable event of the evening was Vicky going to hospital at about 1am after being stung several times on the foot by a scorpion – but all was fine after she had a couple of injections!
