What a great way to spend Valentine's day. While the falls are not nearly as impressive as they were in the past we were actually quite pleasently surprised to see as much water flowing as we did. Previously we had been told that there would only be a small trickle of water due to the hydro-electric dam that was built upstream. Prior to the dam being built, the Blue Nile Falls were apparantly quite spectacular and were often compared to Victoria Falls in Zimbabawe/Zambia. I guess you can call this progress.

For Valentine's Day supper Jordan took me out to a nice restaurant at a hotel down the street from where we were staying in Bahir Dar. The meal including drinks cost us approximately $4. Love Ethiopia!
