Sacred
I visited Ethopia in 2007 with my daughter on a GAP tour, we travelled from Axum in the north to the border of Kenya in the south It was an experience I will never forget. It is said that when we die our lives flash before us once more, if that is true,then I will see you again Ethiopia. On our flight home when i thought of the places and people oneword came to mind the word SACRED. Thank you for memories

Touch of Reality
Hi there Jonathon and Sarah, Well it was great that I happened across your website. You see I am a Paul Theroux fan and I've read, so far, two of his books and now on to my third "Dark Star Safari" - overland from Cairo to Capetown. At the moment I'm reading of his journey through the land of the Kush and he is a master at describing the setting (also the culture) in a way that it is easy to imagine how things look. I thought I'd google "Sudan Pyramids" and of course there is a whole host of websites, however, I clicked on yours and am pleased I did. I have been going through your photos of your journey to the pyramids in the Sudan and they are amazing. Thanks so much. Paul certainly has captured the essence of what I see in your pictures. If you've not read Paul Theroux I know you will really enjoy. Cheers, Marg from New Zealand

It is my first trip to Africa. I've just arrived in Congo. I couldn't believe the way they are living.

Hi from Kit
What fabulous pictures and how wonderful to think of you in Ethopia and to have my sense of place expanded. When Dick and I go to Fat Apples for dinner we often are serverd by a beautiful young Ethopian woman. She applied to UC architecture school and (also with an introduction from us to a professor friend) she got in! Sarah, the camping stories are great! And one of those views looks like Monument Valley. I'm grateful for all you've taught me. Affectionately, Kit

Wow! What a great set of photos!
This is a great posting that deserves to be widely read and viewed. It makes me think what an incredible tourist bonanza Ethiopia could experience with proper security and improved roads. I had never realized what a wealth of sites and sights there are to be visited. Thank you Sarah and Jonothan for putting together this great report! (I envy your trip!)

Publish?
You two should really think about putting all this together into a book. Your photos are incredible; together with your commentary, they really make me feel like you're just around the corner and not thousands of miles away. And your experiences are compelling! From the socio-political issues to the personal friendships, and of course, the children. LOVE it. Jessica

In awe! Of you!
Amazing to wake up to this journal. Your depiction/description takes my breath away. What different people you must be from when I knew you "so long ago". Thank you a million for sharing. PS Of course I always love the stuff about the children the best! Much love, Vera

the moral of the story
I think any third world traveler has seen this phenomena. But I wrestle with the moral of the story. We make good containers and they recycle well? These people have ingenuity? I wonder if we are we providing the right raw materials for them to build their own way of life. Clearly hunger continues to reign in that part of the world, even after the bazillions of cans of vegetable ghee and bags of wheat flour have been dumped into their economy. Is our aid properly leveraged?
