Try Not to Die, Thursday, July 29, 2021

"Today we're going somewhere with coffee," Anakin said. "Strong, strong coffee."

"Enjoy Ethiopia!" Ben said, wiping at his eyes tiredly. "Into the portal with you."

Tired.

In Raise the Roof, you assist a group of locals carrying a roof two-thirds of a mile (1,100 m) and place it on top of a house. Once the roof was on you then place a jug on the roof to receive their next clue. In Mud the Hut, you have to use a plaster made of dirt, water, and straw to cover an entire wall of a traditional Ethiopian house to receive the next clue.

In this leg's Roadblock, you have to enter a 850-year-old church to receive a pendant from the head priest. Then you have to search among hundreds of worshipers standing outside for one with a matching pendant, which could be traded for the next clue.

But first, coffee! Sit through an elaborate coffee ceremony, but then you get to drink extremely strong Ethiopian coffee, so bonus.

Then find Anakin & Ben.

Tahani al-Jamil

Alara Kitan

Normally the roof carrying challenge wouldn’t be a problem for Alara but she was still rather tired from this morning and so it took her a bit longer to complete the challenge.

Alara was able to get the pendant but it took a bit longer to find the matching pendant as she awkwardly searched the crowd for it.

Alara was extremely grateful for the coffee after the ceremony and it definitely gave her the jolt she needed to reach the finish line.

At least she had done a lot better than last week.
