Southward Bound

We left Addis Ababa yesterday morning, driving in "luxury" in 4-person Land Cruisers WITH AC, entering the Rift Valley and stopping en route at two lakes.


Cattle and sheep grazing and wonderful birds...
Marabou Storks


African Fish Eagles (which look like Bald Eagles)


Sacred Ibis


And boys who caught catfish and tilapia to sell to the restaurants...


The Marabou Storks are called "the ugliest birds in Africa"; they are 5 feet tall, have a wing span of 10 feet, and are very funny to watch






Also pelicans


And washing of horses



And bodies


We stayed at a "vacation lodge" on the edge of Lake Langana


And took off in our 4x4's early the next morning.
