We weren't allowed to bring cameras into the lucha libre event, which was disappointing considering how clear our view was. We had to make do with photos of the surrounding souvenir stalls.

Eyeing the sugar-crazed gringos breathing down their necks...I had been craving churros all weekend.

These giant yellow plastic oil containers became quite familiar to me throughout the trip, although they were rarely seen in Addis or other more modern cities. Families saved the jugs to refill with water. In Axum, people pulled carts full of these yellow jugs to the main reservoir. In Harar's narrow streets, I usually only saw people (often children) lugging individual jugs home.

This kid (and his friend) latched on to me soon after I entered the old city. Couldn't shake him and he seemed harmless, so I let him be my "guide." He claimed to be 16, by the way...looks about 11.

This teenager latched on pretty quickly and tried to claim he was my guide.
