There is much to tell! First, many people have asked me how was my trip to Eritrea? Overall, it was an excellent trip and I am happy I had the opportunity to go. Being my first trip out of the country, I tried to take in as much as possible. It was difficult for me at times with the different culture, but I learned a lot. I told many people that I was going to meet my grandparents for the first time...And...it was everything that I imagined plus more. My grandparents are wonderful individuals and they have sooo much love to offer. I can still picture my grandmother's face when we saw each other for the first time! I am very lucky young woman! I will share as much as possible about my trip, but first, here is a picture of my grandparents and me the day I headed home! They are the reason I have wanted to travel to Eritrea for so many years!

| LOVE! And yes, that is the traditional hairstyle (I will have close ups later)!
My grandmother is wearing a traditional dress, a "Zuria." I saw mostly middle aged women and elders in the dresses. The material is thin, but layered.
