The Beauty of Ethiopia...

...certainly cannot be summarized in eight and a half minutes - but the video below does an amazing job at providing a glance into just some of the beauty that is this country and its people. Immediately the music made me want to jump on a plane and visit an asmari bait to hear the instruments live. I longed to simply walk the streets of Addis that make me feel I'm home. To hear nothing but Amharic as you go through your day - beautiful. Strangely, I even had the urge to be in a taxi making my way across town knowing I paid 3 times too much for the fare :) Anything to bring me back.
