The Monuments


This is a staircase -- 13 stairs to symbolize the years Italy ruled Ethiopia. On the top is a Lion the symbol of Addis Ababa and Ethiopia


At the hotel swimming pool they had these huge platform diving boards. Anyone want to try?



The first cannon in Ethiopia


The famous obelisk. The band on the bottom depict scenes of suffering when Italy came into Ethiopia. At the fall of the Italians rule, they stole this statue and took it to Italy. They retuned several decades later (at a very high cost)
