Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Part three of my travel blogs, and then I’m back to the regularly scheduled blogging, I promise! Lots of gorgeous weddingness and fun engagementness coming soon! 😉
We spent a few days in Lalibella and Gondor, Ethiopia. Lalibella was an unreal experience! We were there during the holiday of Maryam (Virgin Mary) and we got to witness the beautiful ceremony with dancing Priests!
The famous Lalibella cross, which was stolen a few years back. It was a huge ordeal but was returned when the thief was caught.

After two nights in Lalibela, we went to Gondar which is the former capital. We toured King Fasiledes’ castle, here is my mother at the castle.
Haile Selaisse’s church had amazing paintings all over, including the ceiling.
