Thanks, Ben. Yes, I got a roach in a prepared chicken stew once, and I asked if there was an added charge for the extra protein. They didn't charge for lunch of our group of four. Harar is greener than I had imagined it. I was surprised to see Nopal cactus, thought it was only in the Americas. Love the camels! "looks like an animal designed by a committee." Majestic though. Do they allow you to visit mosques in off times,(no shoes on, long pants on guys)? Great idea, offering your flash mob kids peanuts. Nice people you are traveling with, makes hiring a car easier for all, and no language problem for you; you can be guides for a group next season from the UK.

Nah it's somali state. It was given to ethiopia by force not by the ballot. one day we will reunite with our greater somalia. We have nothing to do with ethiopia. We have different culture language etc. We have been fighting since the British came to our land, and we push out the amharas by the bullet. God bless onlf 🙌.
