Second Day in Ethiopia

Climbed Gheralta to visit the church at the top of the mountain, checked into the Gheralta Lodge, and visited a village called Girat Mikdah Keshe that received a well from Charity: Water two years ago. Guest photographers: John Vechey and Scott Harrison.

Really nice pictures. Can you tell me what’s the name of the meal on one of the last photos (“MCM_4424”) ?

  Sorry I don’t remember it exactly besides the obvious fact that it was soup.

Wow, gorgeous photos. I’ve always wanted to go to Africa, but Ethiopia has never been at the top of my list (or even on the list, for that matter), but it is now.
