Southern Ethiopia

Ethiopia is the second most populous nation in Africa, with over 85 million people.  It is alo one of the oldest sites of human existence..."Ardi" is currently considered to be the oldest skelton ever discovered.  After we landed, this curious primate ran out from the bush for a visit...we quickly lost interest

 

Although the country is land locked, it is truly beautiful, with mountainous terrain and spectacular views.

Throughout Africa, we have seen buildings constructed with wood stick supports...one of our pilots is contemplating a post-deployment entrepreneurial venture...purchasing a level and traveling the continent.
