Off we drove with our windows down fighting the heat of the sun trailing a guy on a motor bike. We bumped along a road that took us deeper and deeper into the middle of nowhere. Praise the Lord for 4-wheel drive cars because without one we never would have gotten to our destination. We finally arrived at a field and our motor bike guide informed us that "we are here". Ummm, excuse me sir, where exactly is here? After the drive was a short hike down a cliff (I mean, a steep dirt hill) and there we were, we had arrived at a plant nursery. Who knew they even had those in Ethiopia? Our expectations were not high, really all we were after was an evergreen, and here is what we got...
This years Christmas tree hunt was unlike any I have been on before. A 1 1/2 ft. cypress tree later our adventure goes down in the books for the most unique experience in searching for the bit of festive greenery. Ethiopian adventures for the win!
