the edge of the escarpment
alibuckeye03:
the view on the drive north was standard Ethiopian highlands
alibuckeye03:
there were curvy roads
alibuckeye03:
and very straight roads
alibuckeye03:
the fountain in mekele
alibuckeye03:
the "Marry Go Round"
alibuckeye03:
the "village" where we spent our first two nights
alibuckeye03:
the hurdler flies a kite while the children watch in awe
alibuckeye03:
our bedding, a bed, and the hut behind it all
alibuckeye03:
walking past the table formations
alibuckeye03:
so much yellow
alibuckeye03:
we reach the sulfur lake
alibuckeye03:
natural or unnatural? (it's like an hsbc ad)
alibuckeye03:
man carves salt
alibuckeye03:
the donkeys are miserable
alibuckeye03:
camels neck wrestle while waiting
alibuckeye03:
BR eats his car
alibuckeye03:
pocket-sized boyfriend
alibuckeye03:
sulfer ponds smell like chemistry labs
alibuckeye03:
part of the pond is green
alibuckeye03:
another part has yellow islands
alibuckeye03:
it looks so dangerous
alibuckeye03:
it looks like water... it's not
alibuckeye03:
but our guard is undaunted by the smell
alibuckeye03:
more yellow pods
alibuckeye03:
we walk skeptically
alibuckeye03:
then pose for a picture
alibuckeye03:
and looking down at it, it's even harder to believe it's real... except for the smell
alibuckeye03:
right around the corner it's a whole different planet
alibuckeye03:
then we go to the "land of phallic rocks"
