Hello From Ethiopia

Hello everyone! Ethiopia is wonderful. Cool temperatures. 20 degrees versus 40. Everything here is endemic here: wildlife, walking sticks, music. They seem to have the one song here. You hear it wherever you go. I was very sick in Sudan with dysentary and e coli but I'm much better after a few days here. The local food, injera, looks and tastes like dirty dishcloth but it's possible to get good faranji food (foreigner food).

We will spend some time visiting the sights of ancient Ethiopia. Ethiopia was home to the ancient Aksumite civilization and much remains to be seen of it in the North. Then we will head south to visit the famous tribes of the Lower Omo Valley.

Watch this space and keep in touch!
