The
Shulmans from United States
After
a couple of days in Addis to get on the time zone we began our
adventure to the south. Our first stop was
Lake
Langano
which was most delightful. The bird life was incredible as were
the people.
We
met some college age kids and they wanted to take our pictures
with them and we took photos of them too. Truly one of the most
spectacular nature sites of our entire lives was the “flamingo
lake”. This was a crater lake near Wondogenet. It was a hike
down to the lake but what a site—thousands of flamingos covering
the entire lake. These pictures can’t possibly do this site
justice. No pictures can adequately describe our month long visit
to
Ethiopia
. Not every day was wonderful but all days were culturally rich.
Throughout
the trip Fest
Ethiopia
provided us with an excellent driver and wonderful guides. Fathe
in the south was just wonderful and Eule ( t h e d r i v e r
throughout
Ethiopia
) was just a wonderful man and a very skilled driver. He also
evaluated some of the flooded roadways and kept us safe as well as
was capable of keeping the vehicle in good driving condition.
At
Debre Damo Dean had to climb up a rope to get to the monastery and
it was quite a site. I was not allowed to go to this monastery. I
stayed with the children in the village and watched then braid one
another’s hair. We have been in 63 countries and while we did
have some issues with our trip, it was the MOST culturally rich
trip we have ever taken.
Even
knowing the difficulty of the trip, we would recommend it to other
people who enjoy the emersion of learning another culture.
With
fond thoughts of your country
