Addis Ababa

Here is the red bag again, with its destination code, but if you look very carefully you will see that it is a different red bag! The last two got the wobbly wheel syndrome after being dragged around South America for four months, so we had to buy two new ones.
We spent some time waiting at Heathrow,  we admired the lights in the lounge. 
Addis is a typical African city with lots to see, lots of noise lots of choking fumes.
But we decided that we need some education and tripped off to the Ethnological museum. Set in the Palace of Haille Selasie.
 The grounds were designed by The Italians
 He looks very majestic in his crown and robes
 Did you know that we are descended from a skeleton discovered in Ethiopia in the 90´s? 
Her name is Lucy, she is small petite and quite fascinating!

This picture is made from a child´´s skull lying near Lucy.
It is the only known baby skull of this period.
In Ethiopia food is shared from the same plate and eaten with the right hand!
