St George, the best beer in Ethiopia.
Ancient treasures - eight hundred year old books on goatskin, triptychs, crosses - kept in a filing cabinet in a dripping cave monastery in the mountains near Lalibella.
St George's. A church just dug out of the rocks at Lalibella.
And then? Every stretch of the Nile. Shiro. The Gonder archives. All of the Lalibella crosses. Honey wine. Lunatic French tourists. The Solomonic dynasty which ended with Haile Selaisse: the offspring of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. Honey wine. Outstanding coffee. The whole deal. Crazy airport delays. My awesome bartering skills. And then some.
