A beautiful sunset settles over the plains just north-east of Bahir Dar, accenting a pair of Warka trees on a hill. Below, a man is seen walking beside the road in this dry land.

The roads outside of town are covered with people, everywhere you go. In the two weeks that we have been here at the Gamby Teaching Hospital in Bahir Dar, we have not wandered far!
Just up the road from our hotel a woman works on one of the many colorful scarves that are seen everywhere.
Most of us took one day in the middle to explore a little of the country side, and occasionally would have a chance to explore the town a little bit before or after our shift.

Gondar has been called the “Camelot of Africa” in part because of several royal castles that date back many centuries. Part of our team shown here on the steps of the Fasilides Castle, founded by Emperor Fasilides.
