Ethiopia - Duna Region

This is a typical village I passed on the way up this newly graded road that went over the mountains in the Duna Region of Ethiopia. I am grateful that the season is dry because otherwise I would have slid right off the side. In many places there was wash-out on both sides and in the middle of the tire tracks, if one wheel had slipped into the deep trenches caused by heavy rains the car would have had to be towed out and there are no tow trucks here. I thank God for a safe all day journey over very rough roads and through a shallow river where the bridge had been washed out. My car is being treated like an all-terrain vehicle but the trips are necessary and important. I am so grateful for the car and the good condition it is in.

The country-side is just beautiful!
