This door, is clearly to Jurassic Park
After walking through part of the dig site, we went through more buildings that had examples of tools/bones/skull replicas from the area.
Next, we were off to Adadi Meriam stone church. This church was also ground out of stone by King Lalibela to prevent being burned by the Muslims. It is a smaller version of the stone churches in Lalbela in the north (but much closer and more convenient for us to visit).
Last on our little trip was some of the ancient grave stones from the nomadic tribes. I'm posting some pictures, but you really did have to be there to get the "coolness" on these, otherwise they do just look like big rocks. I admit this.
This also gave us a little time driving through rural farm homes. We got a lot of waving from the children along the road walking to school as well as the kids walking for water.
We made the long drive back in the afternoon, and I had to switch gears to preparing for Ted to leave. It's not really about being apart (as we often are) as much as it is doing a rather complicated life event from the other side of the world on my own. So there was some crying, but then the crying stopped and I read my book and eventually got to sleep.
