Greetings from Lalibella Ethiopia

Having a great trip with wonderful weather. Have seen only one cloud in ten days. We saw the church where the Ark of Covernant is kept. Did a 15k, 800m ascent today to a rock carved monestary. The group took mules (ala the Valley of the Kings) but I trekked it. Did two full days looking at the rock hewn churchs in Lalibella (sp?). This place is as good if not better than Petra and worthy of being in the Pantheon of great tour sites (i.e. Pyramids, Angor Wat, Machu Picchu, etc.).

On to Addis tomorrow and then to the south for some animal and water fowl safari time.

take care, Jack
