Trip Beginning

I can't think of anything spectacular to post today...because, of course, all my other posts are so spectacular. ;-) And I'm remembering that we never really shared details of our time in Ethiopia, so I'm going to try to add a few snippets along the way here.

One nice thing about our flight into Ethiopia (besides no layovers!) was the timing. Just as we crossed into Africa, the sun began to rise. "Beautiful" doesn't even begin to describe it! It was breathtaking! It was a masterpiece that could have only been painted by the One True Master!

The pictures don't do it any justice, but the beginning of the sunrise looked like a perfect rainbow spread across the horizon. Here are a few pictures to document our first views of Africa!

Once the sun was risen, it was amazing to see the huge sand dunes beneath us! I tried to take pictures, but between the dirty airplane windows and the bright sun, they didn't work. (This was one of the many times I wish I had an amazing camera and knew how to use it well. Some day it will be in the budget. :-))
