ONE Mom Karen Walrond traveled with ONE to Ethiopia this October as the official photographer. This piece, originally published on Chookooloonks<\/a>, is part of our ongoing coverage<\/a> of the trip.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While much of our trip was spent in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia\u2019s capital of about 4 million people, we also spent a lot of our time in rural areas, visiting farms and other aspects of the countryside. And the countryside is truly where Ethiopia comes into its own: while Addis is a smog- and exhaust-filled bustling, chaotic city, Ethiopia\u2019s countryside is a textbook illustration of what pastoral living is supposed to look like: lush, rolling hills, sweet-smelling air (from all the cypress around, no doubt), idyllic village scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today, I thought I\u2019d share with you some of the beauty of Ethiopia, as well as what life looks like outside of Addis Ababa. I hope you find it as breathtaking as we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: the image above was taken on day 3, at a rest stop halfway to Mojo, a town about 70km southeast of Addis. Lovely, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
