: We made one last stop before the long drive to Awash. We arrived at the fish market to find a number of storks and pelicans being fed. Barbara was trying to take a photo of me next to a Maribou Stork, but every time I got anywhere near the stork, some boy threw fish guts at it because I guess what we really wanted was to see the stork eating.
Anyway, the visit was a pretty short one because this guy started following us around despite our obvious attempts to get away from the feeding activity.
