I tried the goat last night. And as was apparently said about it, goat meat either tastes like veal or venison, based on age. Mine tasted like venison. I only had a bit, though, as that wasn't my main dish. I had a spicy beef stew (yeserba watt) and the vegetarian stew (tikel gomen) which was served with chickpeas, taboulleh, and served on this spongey ethiopian bread called injera. It was tasty. Very tasty. And we ate with our hand using this bread to pick up the foods, which was very reminiscent of India.

The day at the bird sanctuary was good times. I mean, I was slightly disappointed that I didn't ever spot the baby geese. But dude, I had a chickadee perch on my finger for a bit of birdseed. And I fed a couple ducks as well. And I had a day of exercise (walking anywhere for a few hours with a pile of camera gear on back, squatting and crouching to get a better shot, yeah that's definite exercise). We stayed after it was closed, and for a while I was worrying that the gates would be closed, shutting us in. The whole walk back was void of any people anywhere. But thankfully there was no such problem. And there were even others in the parking lot still. So Christine freaks out a bit for nothing. Ho hum. I have some photos I'll likely upload to Flickr later.

Catch y'all later!
