Just a quick post to let you all know that after two days on the bus from Lalibela (and two days on the bus from Gonder to Lalibela) I’m back in Addis Ababa. I had Nachos Ole for dinner, yum. I’ve lost a bit of weight in Ethiopia, for lack of anything I want to eat outside of the capital. That’s why it was so funny today when the man eating at my table at lunch told me (repeatedly) how fat I am. It’s funny how I’ve gotten used to being called “so fat” right to my face. I laughed and told him my pants were falling off but it didn’t quite translate.
I’m working on my Madagascar itinerary (tips are welcome!) and once I book a ticket and coordinate the inane five day drive to Nairobi I will be out of here. I’ve been slowly updating the gallery so check in if you like. I will post when everything is finally online. For those of you keeping track, my package from Egypt just arrived back in Chicago—sea mail took less than one month. My brother will be happily smoking his new sheesha soon.

Just wanted to let you know that your pictures are amazing!!
Alright I’ll admit I’m jealous of Madagascar. I seriously want to go.
Thanks, Stacy. It’s really hard to meter dark faces thoguh so I’m sorry if the photos are really dark on those of you running Windows.
Lucas,
I think most of you all are more excited about Madagascar than I am!
Hi Megan,just drop by and say hi.I’m from China and I’ve been reading your site for quite a long time.You are one of those people that inspired my own longhaul travel. I did 2 months this year and is going to do more.So have fun in Madagascar!
It’s great to see all the new Chinese travelers about. There’s still not enough but I’m seeing more and more. Good for you and I’m glad I helped you get out. We both live in very insolated societies!
