It seems to have many traditions and culture, despite of the poverty and many other tough things to see, you are quite a traveller, eh?:)
Nice photos. Please provided more details of how to get around. Ethiopia must be somewhat challenging, unless you have a car and driver.
This place looks quite new. So where do they keep the ark? We have a round Ethiopian church in Jerusalem, too, with lots of arks.
thanks to show me a great virtual visit in ethiopia :)
Wow, interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing
