Early morning in Addis Ababa from hotel balcony. I learned today that in Ethiopia the family name is not passed down, just one of the names (first or middle) of the father. As a result there is much more diversity since nobody is labeled by their last name (i.e. Madden=Irish?). I thought this was interesting. Christianity is the largest religion with Islam second.

Wollo is one of 13 new universities built in Ethiopia since 1995 with the mission of addressing poverty through literacy. How cool is that.
