Surrounded by Mountains

First of all let me say Merry Christmas, as it is officially the 25th. I was thinking about midnight mass and church, and I remembered the time my 90 year old grandma took me with her to Lideta Mariam up on Kebena mountain (well that's the name of the neighborhood at least). It was fun just walking with my grandmother, it was the first time I've walked anywhere with her. But after a while it got kinda tuff. I was panting for breath and struggling to keep up.


That's when I finally turned around and saw the view. I have been coming to this neighborhood for years and never thought to come up here. Addis Ababa is surrounded by mountains, apparently that is what made it so attractive as a capital.
