Ethiopia: Addis Ababa, Blue Nile Gorge, Lalibela 
The return trip down the mountain seemed worse to me than the trip up.

I decided to give my poor horse a break and walked down after our break at the halfway point.

The water dripping down from the roof of the cave onto these stones has never dried up in the hundreds of years that this church has been here.  The water is said to be holy.

Here is another well camouflaged and protected church built in a cave in the side of the mountain.

This is the infamous meal where we pointed at three things on the menu that we didn't know and took our chances with the result.  When we got back to the hotel we discovered that one of the entrees had been raw goat.  If you can't tell by the expression on my face, I wasn't too crazy about that one.  :-)

Back in Addis we treat ourselves to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant called Ristorante Castelli.  Our guidebook called it the best restaurant in Addis, and it was fantastic!

I'll even go so far as to say that it's the best Italian food that I've ever had.  Every single dish was just mouth wateringly good.  They have pictures on the wall from when foreign dignitaries have visited, including Bill Clinton.
