This is Elshaday, my amazing roommate from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She keeps me in line after a long night of dancing and drinking, and is an inspiration as I stream the lines to my thesis. We've been living together since November 2006, in the jagged center of Ciudad Colon, and we once tried cooking together, but that didn't last long. I have enjoyed the Ethiopian dishes she has introduced me to! And in a few years I'll be working in Addis--at least she's agreed to get me a Peace Education job at a university there...and then we'll be roommates again.
