I overpacked...
Sooooo it's been 16 days since we’ve arrived in Ethiopia and I've taken close to 1300 pictures (almost 15 gigs worth) and not one is of the rock where Simba was first introduced to the kingdom... still not happy about that one. Yes, we're the team that hit the goat (at least we think it’s a goat) during a 14.5 hour drive. Yes, we're the team, I can happily say, that has experienced an ailment (mostly stomach) of some sort. Yes, we're the team that “trekked” the “Roof of Africa” aka The Simien Mountains. Yes, we’re the team that “pays” roughly $15 total for 5-star quality dinners (HA!). Yes, we’re the team that’s seen one too many naked men roaming the streets. And yes, I am the man who has harnessed his inner Steve Irwin (too soon?) and Austin Stevens to capture it all on film… well almost all of it. I decided to use roughly 2.6% of the pictures I’ve taken to show the beauty of Ethiopia… remember, T.I.A! ("This is Africa" for all of you farnajis)
Be forwarned... the blog system forces me to compress my beautiful 5MB+ pics to less than 1MB, so I apologize for the quality or lack thereof:
This concludes my post, however as the title indicates, I overpacked. One bag is (was) full of food (thanks mom!), anti-digestive issue meds, other various meds, a router which Danny and I just killed, toilet paper that is still packed, sugar-free lemon drops whose main ingredient induces laxative effects (the worst), lysol wipes, toiletries, oatmeal, protein powder, peanut butter, tortillas, raw nuts, granola bars, soy nuts, bug spray, tissue packs, vitamins, ponchos, power strips and power converters. The other bag contains clothing. I'm sure I missed something, but needless to say, I overpacked.

Hey mate, looks good. The world is a beautiful place. Make sure through your busy schedule that you take time to really enjoy the sights, sounds and smells.
Beautiful pictures! Those are priceless! My favorite is the African Sunrise
