Our first church, and first introduction to the "beer festival" that happens on saint's days...and special holidays...and Sundays.
TESFA (Tourism in Ethiopia for Sustainable Future Alternatives) runs treks through the communities of Meket Woreda, North Wollo. It's a great opportunity to get off the beaten path. We visited villagers at their homes, churches and farms, viewed beautiful highland scenery, and were swarmed by very excitable children at every turnnot one who wanted anything more than to shake our hands.
