Yesterday I was not able to get on the blog. I am not sure if it is a bandwidth issue or that I was blocked, but I am on today. On Tuesday we went to see the Sheraton, the most expensive place to stay in Addis Ababa. The grounds are nice and I assume they use more water than the combined total of 4 cities in Ethiopia. It is really a shocking the difference between the Sheraton and right on the other side of the Sheraton walls (see the tin roofed shacks).
Their children's area was influenced by Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves but apparently they went a little too far and had too many dwarves.
I also went to the National Museum. Here is the sign to go in (I liked the way the broke apart the word Exhibition).
The most famous item in the museum is Lucy. The oldest human relative every found.
I also saw this little statue sort of stuck in a corner. Check out the date they think it was carved.
