Lalibela

My sister-in-law Kathy celebrated her birthday while we were in Ethiopia. She is a geologist and really wanted to visit Lalibela where 11 Christian Orthodox churches have been carved out of the rock. It was amazing to take this trip and to see how people outside of Addis Ababa live. Aside from getting very sick from drinking unpasteurized milk and Tej, a local wine (not together of course), the side trip was absolutely amazing. Since there are so many photos of this amazing place, rather than post them individually, I've put them into a slide show. Enjoy!
