Went to the Entoto mountains and saw Saint Mary's Church and some relics from various kings. Amazing that they keep relics that are hundreds years old in a simple building with simple glass boxes. American historians would have heart attacks. Dodged donkeys and women with eucalyptus cuttings on their backs, hauling them down the mountain. Quite an amazing feat that women carry firewood down a mountain on their back to be paid pennies for it. We then went to Africa's largest open air market. It was crazy and amazing. We didn't get out and shop, not to good of a place for Westerners. I did get kisses blown at me from a couple of men, though. We have had a great time with our guide Aki and driver Ephrem. Took them to lunch at Kaldi's coffee. It is a copyright enfringement of Starbuck's down to the fireplace, paintings and chairs. Oh, one exception, the coffee sucks at Starbucks, not so at Kaldi's and was way cheaper! A venti cup of coffee....50 cents.
