Last pictures pictures of Konso...


1st The inside of the hut of our guide whom you've seen on the previous pictures ( the one with the traditional clothes in front of the terrasses). Looks fabulous doesn't it? His wife,whom he married at the age of 17 or so, does all the nifty handywork... When he graduted university here she left the village for the first time to see Addis ( wearing traditional clothes). He's forcing her to finish High school while she takes care of their home and 3 children...
2nd Ibrushe the guy that helped us out ( our friend) and us in front of reproductions of the statues the people from Konso used to put on their graves. With tourism increasing ( you have to stop in Konso to go and see the other tribes such as the hammer people in the south) the statues were being sold or stolen. Now they are trying to unite them in a museum...
