Ethiopia





These pictures are from my trip to Ethiopia. Amazing country. Went to participate on a field expedition in the Hadar region. Far, far away from urban centers. Eight hour drive to the site, where tribal people still live (and fight each other). The Afar, Muslims who are so tall, and dark, carry guns and were our "protectors." Best part about the week? Finding a hand axe that is now part of the collections of the National Museum in Addis Ababa. If you want to hear the story about how I found it, I am always ready to tell it!
