The Scent of Wild Thyme

This photo was taken probably in 1990, when my husband was assigned to the US Embassy in Addis Ababa and we lived there for three years. It was taken at the Blue Nile Gorge at the escarpment near what is known as the Portuguese Bridge. I'm on the left, and my friend Judith, whom I had known at our previous post in Jakarta, Indonesia, is with me. I just spoke with Judith yesterday, who has remained a friend all these years, and who currently lives in Anchorage.

The Proust memory is the scent of wild thyme.

Loved those red Minnetonka moccasins.
