Shepherd Boys in Ethiopia

We met them about four hours North of Addis. They had made their hats and were selling them. I felt terrible to only buy one, and I bought one with a brim and then was informed that only men wore the ones with a brim, but I didn't care. They look grumpy here, but were really very charming. My theory is that people who are not used to having their pictures taken just do not have our picture reflex to smile.

    I must admit that I am a bit envious because you got to travel to such distant and beautiful places. The last trip I took was to France where I spent most of the time at the French holiday rentals where we stayed. We got to see the French Alps and the sea side but I can't say it was too much of a life experience compared to what you did in Africa.
