    in Africa and Expeditions

    “In the Amhara region of Ethiopia, and the town of Lalibela, the 12th Century church Bete Giyorgis is carved out of limestone, shaped from the inside out as one unbroken piece of stone, and considered by some to be the 8th Wonder of the World.” ~ Marco Tonoli, Ethiopia Expedition Leader
