Emerald Resort and Lodge in Arbaminch.

 

Stunning views.

Such exhausting work this traveling.

Baboons outside our room.

This morning’s village visit turned out to be a disappointment because the guide did not speak English but the drive the rest of the way to Turmi sure was not.

The roads are a challenge to drive. If they are not full of pot holes they are filled with people and animals.

 

Bee hives were evident in many of the trees we passed.

Young boys are seen everywhere on the road dancing the hip dance for a few birr, the national currency.

 

Examples of terraced farming in the area to help eliminate erosion.

The rock work in front of this home is also evident on all the terraces for farming.

Omo tribal homes.

Two girls from the village.

 

Traditional material used for skirts and pants for the people in the area.

At a lunch stop every child around came out to sell us something so instead I had them pose for a photo and paid them 5 birr each, the standard amount per person for taking a photo.

Women carrying feed for animals.

Firewood lined up along the road for sale.

What a way to get you to stop your vehicle.
