We spent the day touring Addis.  We visit the national museum, a church, the markato and had dinner at a fun Ethiopian restaurant.  The national museum contained "Lucy" and some interesting historical and anthropological exhibits.  The church was largest Orthodox Coptic Christian church in Ehtiopia and the site of Haile Selassie's tomb.  The markato, Italian for market is the largest open air market in Africa and is gigantic, chaotic and a bit overwhelming.  We went to an Ethiopian restaurant for dinner.  Very inexpensive, quite good with music and dancing.
