My friend Solomon got his bike this week so we took advantage of the good weather to ride from RIT to Rochester City along the beautiful cycleways - the Lehigh Valley Trail, the Erie Canalway Trail, and the Genesee Riverway Trail. Solomon arrived at RIT the week before me and is enrolled in the Masters of Secondary Education (MSSE) program at NTID/RIT. Solomon is the first Ethiopian student to take a graduate degree at RIT. We have become good friends and while we are both learning ASL, we get by communicating in a mixture of Ethiopian, Australian, and American Sign Languages.

We rode to the restaurant Addis Ababa in Rochester City Center to share Ethiopian food and chat with friends Dawn (US), Hamid (Ghana), and Lual (South Sudan).
