Pictures from Ethiopia

Here is a picture of the canon I wrote about - the one built by priests.
The street markets were irresistible - filled with beautiful and colourful things.



Walking around the city, one of the most common sights is people sitting under large umbrellas along the road side and getting their shoes polished. The city of Addis is beautiful - the roads slope up and down and the city is surrounded by beautiful green hills.

I loved watching the local buses drive by. The bus conductor, standing comfortably with half his body outside the moving car, shouts out to potential customers walking along the road.
Ethiopia is known for its coffee ceremony where the coffee is roasted, ground, brewed and served in the presence of everyone.
