Here we are in Awassa, Ethiopia!  What a BEAUTIFUL drive it was coming down here today from Addis Ababa!  There were fun things to see ALL the way!  Here are some photos taken on the way here and at a fun Beach Resort called Sabana, out in the middle of nowhere by a lake.  A few photos are also at the PRETTY Lewi Resort where we are staying tonight.  We'll attend Sacrament Meeting in the Awassa Branch and then drive over to the Wendo Genet Branch for the last hour of Church.  We will head back to Addis tomorrow afternoon.

It was green and pretty ALL the way!!

One of dozens and dozens of huts along the way....

I LOVE the TREES here!!

This is just one of the many bungalows you can stay in

The ceiling of the restaurant

YUMMY chocolate sundaes with soft ice cream!!

Overlooking Lake Langano   
This is a little tram that takes you down
to the lake from the restaurant and
shops.  We didn't have time to do it.

Look closely at the WORST thorn bushes we have
ever seen!!  Yowza!!!

The Restaurant from the back

Inside the AWESOME restaurant!

I snapped this on our way out.  I LOVE these trees!

These are just a few of the boys who stood on
their heads (missed that) and danced around
on the road, shaking their bottoms at us to try
to get us to give them money.

This is the sign to turn off on a BUMPY long
dirt road to the Sabana Resort on Lake Langano....
