Ethiopia revisited

Today, I received a letter from my pen friend from Ethiopia, Chitra:

The envelope:
Some of the stamps:
The three postcards inside; one of them depicting UNESCO World Heritage Site:
Timkat procession in Axum
Lalibela, Ethiopia

UNESCO World Heritage Site - Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela
- The 11 medieval monolithic cave churches of this 13th-century 'New Jerusalem' are situated in a mountainous region in the heart of Ethiopia near a traditional village with circular-shaped dwellings. Lalibela is a high place of Ethiopian Christianity, still today a place of pilmigrage and devotion.

And there's a piece of bamboo-themed artwork drew by my pen friend:

Thanks a lot to Chitra.
