Countryside Beauty

Here are some of the pictures from our trip to Bahir Dar. The countryside is absolutely stunning... you can just sit and stare at it for hours.

Here's our group by the gorge!

Best pun of the trip: "Man, this is gorgeous!"


This is a sarbait - literal translation: grass house

The Blue Nile Falls - not so blue, aye?

Wading through the Nile River!

Thought that came to my mind as I walked through the countryside and waded across the Nile: "Now this is Africa"

Standing in the mist of the falls - one of the most invigorating experiences of my life.


Can anyone guess what story I'm telling?
"Zacchaeus, you come down! For I'm going to your house today..."

This is J-Russ and 2 of our boys!
Asmamo & me... his name means peace... thus the throwing of the deuce.
HIPPO!
And we finally saw some monkeys (tota in Amharic) after being in Africa for 2 months!
Yes, this monkey is smelling a flower... in case you were wondering.
