Friday photos

Friday photos may be a new recurring feature on this blog -- while I won't post reviews of every place I go on weekends (or during the week for work), it's hard to resist sharing some highlights of Ethiopia. A beautiful and fascinating country: Medhane Alem, the largest monolithic church in the world, is just one of a dozen churches at Lalibela carved from solid rock in the 14th century AD:
