Lalibela - Ethiopia
Jan. 18th, 2014 02:23 pmThese lovely lady pilgrims saw me staggering about snapping wildly with my camera, and waved and grinned at me.

I had high hopes for Lalibela, which was the main historic and cultural sight of Ethiopia that I'd wanted to see with my own eyes (closely followed by the Axum Stelae and the castles of Gondar.) I'd tried not to let myself get too worked up in anticipation, for fear of being disappointed.
I needn't have worried, Lalibela vastly exceeded my expectations. Alas, my photos can't do it justice...
