Joanne and I agree, the strangest, most surreal moment came on our last day in Addis.
We hired a cab to travel to the Hilton Hotel on the far side of town to get Miles a haircut, eat lunch, and otherwise see a different part of the city.
We were able to hire an English speaking driver who quickly dug through the pile of CD's in the glove box. Twangy Country music then blared out of the stereo, driver singing away. (Think Hee-Haw, Buck Owens/Roy Clark kind of thing).
The soundtrack was in total conflict with what was passing outside our windows, and Joanne and I couldn't help but laugh.
If he was going to pull out some American music, he could have done much worse.
