Girl Power in Abuna Yemata (Tigray Region of Northern Ethiopia)










In October, our family with some friends took a trip to Northern Ethiopia. Fantastic trip! The girls did some great hiking and free climbing to a church built into a cave. It is said that the church started being built in 800AD. There are also 14th century Frescoes inside.


However, in order to get to this church (which served as a refuge for many years) you have to climb 45 meters from the base to the final ledge mingling through these footholds and shear drop offs.


This was a true highlight for me and my friends. It was incredible. I did it and Mitch is still very proud since he knows I am a scaredy cat of heights. Yikes!!!!


Enjoy the pics!
