Summer in Ethiopia?

Have fun. Take a tape recorder.

ethiopia is a really wonderful spot, great decision. i may well be back there in july for a few weeks, i’ll shoot you an email if it happens. are you in addis?

by the way, ‘the emperor’ by kapuscinski and ‘i didn’t do it for you’ (well, about eritrea, but still relevant) by michela wrong are pretty engaging primers. have a good time..

“The Blue Nile” and “The White Nile” by Alan Moorehead are wonderfully well written accounts of some of the history of the region. Moorehead was a first rate war correspondent during WW II and his most famous book is “Gallipoli.”
