nothing but blue skies

Adigrat's elevation and geographic surrounding make its climate AMAZING.   There is blue sky and mid 20 celsius weather day after day after day.   My Grandma says I'm very Canadian because I comment on how nice the weather is.  

"Of course it's nice!" she says, "it's Adigrat."

Climate shock

So in one day I went from this :

Toronto

YYZ airport

To this :

Churchill road, Addis Ababa

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Addis Ababa is becoming a beautiful city.   It is also 7,726 feet above sea level.   Which means that climbing a couple flights of stairs or walking up a hill can leave you fairly winded!

It is really lovely to be back in the country.   This is my seventh time visiting in the last 11 years.   Each visit brings new discoveries.
