The purpose of this blog is to stay connected with my friends and family while I transition from Delaware to Maryland to Uganda and beyond. I'd like to use this forum to share my experiences and record my adventures while serving as an Economic Development Volunteer in the Peace Corps.

Ethiopia- long overdue

We got back in early July and it was a great trip. A few highlights...

Dessert in Addis- Belgian waffles and 'escorts' YUM!
In front of Falisad's palace in Gondar
In the lion cage at the palace (don't worry- no lions inside)

Our future album cover



St. George Church in Lalibela. Built in the 11th century.



In front of Haile Selassie's palace (each step represents one year of Italian occupation)


Addis Ababa is one of the highest capitals in Africa 


Ethiopian highlands

Worst hotel room ever





draft beer!!!

layered juice (orange, avocado, guava)


YUM!

Crazy  roads

Rockhewn churches









Traditional Tukul hut


Tejj- traditional honey liquor


Roof of the taxi was hairy
Beautiful landscapes
