Northern Ethio

Here are some pictures from the North of Ethiopia (My dad has more, I will link to them). If there is such thing as a tourist circuit in Ethiopia this is it, pretty amazing sites, still not very many white people:

Northern Ethiopia

Lalibela was amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. Churches carved out of the bedrock 800 years ago, intricate on the inside as on the out. Gonder had some nice castles, etc. The Simien Mountains were great, highly recommended. Felt like Jane Goodall sitting amongst the primates except at 12,000 ft (thinking of going to Gombe Stream NP in Tanzania to visit the famous chimps as well at some point).

Ethiopia is up there on the my list, the food is delicious and despite all the amazing things there, it is still pretty much off the traveler radar.. Go Now, they need the tourist dollars.

I am behind on the blog and headed toward the coast, so far so good.
