Eric's sightseeing while I was sick

OK.  The couple with the baby are Allison and Justin with their little one, Lilly.  Allison is my college friend, Tanya Parks' little sister.  They live in Addis now and were SO kind and helpful to us.  They drove us around looking for Tesfamlak's formula, saw some sights with us and even had us over for lunch.....with a RAW salad with REAL lettuce.  After no raw food for a week, it was really great....in their very IKEA-ish house.  Loved it.  
The big building is the National Museum, where "Lucy" is displayed.  Eric toured the museum and a cathedral the day after the night I spent in the bathroom.  
Not quite sure what the horse statue is but it's probably important since eric took it.  And the billboard was just amusing in an offensive sort of way.  I don't know if you can read it but it says, "the difference is visible". A furniture ad?  This was kind of a common advertising strategy....we saw several billboards like it.
The last family is the Savage Family, from Indiana.  They were there picking up their two sons. They are biological brothers, ages 12 and 6 and so sweet.
