A rainy day, any day of the season here in Ethiopia.
250 km from Addis Ababa to the south, around Jimma, around the ancient region of coffee, which takes its name from here (Kaffa). A hostile land, a land of rugged valleys, small and narrow, where everything is wild .. varies little in reality, only low vegetation (al.1400mt) green basaltic rock, many baboons clinging to steep slopes of escarpments, eagles and hawks, and many different types of birds. The night is but the explosion insects, especially moths as big as a hand, mosquitoes (malaria few, or at least hopefully) and almas, causing painful burns to the skin on contact. Up and down in a pick-up, necessary in those places where the first road was made a few months ago, between holes and fords streams as old as man, excited by the passage of hippos and crocodiles, sleepy and calm, like everything here in Africa.
Holy
