Addis Ababa Pictures

We've got, let's see...okay, not gonna count them. We have 800-900 pictures of our trip to Ethiopia. Unfortunately with how the trip goes, only the last hundred or so are of Belly Boy. But that's alright, we've made it up with tons of pictures at home.


This is a view of the streets, but it doesn't show the traffic very well. Okay.. picture a busy intersection without streetlights. Chaos, right? I saw very few stoplights, and if there was one, it was either run over or not working. So if the intersections weren't the roundy type, they would just be full of beeping, slowly moving cars fighting their way through.

I think this picture KINDA shows how crowded some of the streets were. People walked in front of cars and cars pulled in front of other cars. It was so busy!!!!!

This too kinda shows what I was talking about.



This building was kinda interesting with it's meshlike material on the outside. It was under construction.

Here's a close up of the building. Another thing you might notice are the branches that crookedly hold this thing together. Instead of using 2 by 4s or whatever, they used branches from trees.

And here's someone near the guest house demonstrating how they put together the framing. That branch is looooong!
