Olympus OM-2N | Kodak Plus-X
These greedy little buggers did want money for a photo, although I only gave them 1 birr (11 cents) to share. Later the girls came back to us and wanted to walk with us to our hotel holding our hands. The one on the left actually kissed Jess' hand several times. Eventually a slightly bigger girl who seemed to be trying to shout some sense into them got them to leave us alone.

Narga Selassie is on the Central monasteries on Lake Tana, requiring a 2 1/2-hour ride by powerboat. It sounded more pleasant the day before, but with the morning chill, a need to visit the restroom and even a pause in the middle of the lake to refuel, it began to seem much longer. It was worth the trip, however. Narga Selassie was beautifully-decorated and the friendly priests were eager to be photographed.

Our sweet boat driver knew I was trying to get a good photo of the various fishermen on the lake in their papyrus boats, although we generally didn't come close enough. On the long trip back from Narga Selassie monastery, he spotted this guy and indicated we should take photos, even turned off the engine to drift by him. The rowing man was a good sport about it. Can't remember what he was bringing to Bahir Dar to sell...obviously not fish.

On Zege Peninsula, a less serene experience than the Central monasteries. There were vendors everywhere along the 15-minute path to the monastery, with children begging for pens and hissing "candy?" But the monastery was beautiful and here a guide was provided to explain the detailed paintings.

Still working on rigging samples around here. Taken with the crappy office camera.

Even working in a fashion office, we don't always have store mannequins around...we use functional dressforms, after all. It was a surprise to see how suddenly and efficiently the flock of female mannequins were replaced by males. Taken with the crappy office camera.
