Wrap Up

We're home safe and sound; a little jet-lagged, a little scratchy-throated, glad to be sleeping in our own true bed.

We stayed in a lovely lodge, the last night before returning to Addis Ababa



 Not only were the surroundings beautiful, we got to be spectators at a local wedding.
The flower girl and ring-bearer...

The happy couple...
We were taking bets on whether the cake would topple before it was cut (it didn't)
Our group...
Our wonderful local guide, Dawit...
Plumbing in Ethiopia...
Endangered Hartebeests...
 Joyous women...
Interesting ruins...:D














 termite tower...

 David in the lion's den...







 Vultures fighting over roadkill...

So many impressions...Ethiopia is a land of contrasts, beautiful, friendly people;
ancient history, current struggles. Colorful, lively, curious people, what an incredible time we had!

  1. Wow, you have some stunning photos here. That ruin of a castle is amazing and so incongruous. I particularly love the walker (is that you?) in the tunnel with the lighting. I love the photos of the people and wow, that termite tower is something else.

    It looks like you had a fabulous adventure!

  2. I love the photos, esp the walker in the tunnel, too! You (or your picture taker[s]) have a great eye with the camera, fresh & important images.
