Welcome

Nestled in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia has a rich history, diverse cultures, and varied landscapes. We didn't know what to expect and we were quite surprised by our wonderful experience.

This was the second attempt to visit Death Valley in the Fall. We made it a stopover on our way to Palm Desert and it turned out to be fortuitous timing because there were minimal crowds, the temperature was cool, and the weather was crystal clear.

Over the years we've traveled most of Italy. But somehow we've missed the southern regions of Calabria and Puglia.

On a prior trip to Northern Italy in 2019 we experienced snowy weather in the Dolomites. This trip was planned to correct that situation and add plenty more mountains.
