It's Sunday! Church time, for several hours, to drink barley beer and converse with good friends. These ladies were just extricating themselves and passed by our lunch spot. We soon headed toward the "beer festival" ourselves.

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 turn—not one who wanted anything more than to shake our hands.
