We're here! I'll post photos later, but we arrived in Addis this morning at about 10am. The last four days we averaged somewhere around 600km per day through some beautiful country. We stopped in Wad Medeni, Sudan on Friday night, Gonder, Ethiopia on Saturday night, and then in Debre Libanos on Sunday night. We were only 100km shy of Addis, but night was closing in, so we took one more night on the road.

So all is well. We both went into our offices this morning, and then home to clean up. We're a week late, so no rest for us. I'm excited to get going on work stuff again though.

My name is Mark. I was born near Chicago, have lived in the US, Germany and Nepal, and am starting a new job and a new adventure in Ethiopia. This site is a way for me to keep friends and family updated on my progress, share some pictures, and perhaps offer a bit of reflection along the way. Please look around, and enjoy the ride!

Herumwandernder Cavetroll... heisse Mark. Ich habe in den USA, Deutschland und Nepal gewohnt, und jetzt geht es weiter nach Äthiopien. Mit diesem Website halte ich meine Familien- und Freundeskreise informiert über wie es mir in meinen Abenteuern geht. Schau mal 'rum, und viel Spass dabei!
