Lalibela

Ya Ya Ya. The Ya ya yas. The yeahs. The whatever. Just yeah. I'm reading this book by this wonderful man by the name of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. It is called Wonders of the African World and I must confess it is one of the very best books I have picked up in my life and I have read quite a few. And the best thing is that all of of it is real. All of the adventures, all the mystery is real. Ok, so I feel a bit like I am one of those kids on Reading Rainbow, but friggin joy yo! this is the business of the very world. It's this amazing history that unfolds like an adventure and I have to meet this man and I have to go to Ethiopia for my semester abroad my junior year.I have to. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I'm learning my friggin history and its not lost. It's not lost! I'm black and my history is very much here for me to find. Friggin joy! Just joy. and solitude and serenity and companionship and Lalibela and ...Lalibela.
