Tonight we learned a bit about the Amharic language, Coptic crosses, and Ethiopian icons. All this was at Nyala, Vancouver's Ethiopian restaurant. (The food there is yummy.) The owner, Assefa, showed us how to write a few words in Amharic, and explained a bit of the language's orthography. We chatted some more, and he showed us his Ethiopian Icons book, and his 8 coptic crosses. What fun! I've gotta go back to photograph those crosses. And, of course, for another delicious dinner.
