Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

 Royalty
 I've always though Ethiopian food looks like different colored cat poop on a pancake; tastes good though
 This little guy has been my tour guide for the past few days in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.  The 1st day he gave me his life story.  Sad story; 12 years old, HIV positive along w/ his mother, lives at the nat'l museum of Ethiopia.  At 1st I brushed off his story as a scam, but over the past few days his story checked out.  Just after this photo brown/green ooze came out of his ear. Constant coughing. "I'm sick" is all he says". He's been in & out of the bathroom all day.  I saw his antiviral meds... they checked out. 
I can't help but be a little down.
Today we went to the movies, had lunch, and bought some clothes

Luxor Valley Of The Kings

 The tombs are pretty awesome.  The photos don't do the experience justice.  Image descending diagonally about 200ft under ground.  Every square inch is covered with hieroglyphs.  Some of the sarcophagus have been recreated, which makes it even more interesting.  Worth the trip


 



 If U ever see this guy don't let him take your photo.  Of the 20 he took these are three best
