[Cob] Cob in Ethiopia?!

[davidsheen at davidsheen.com]

Brothers and Sisters,
I am also looking for any leads that anyone on this list might have for
earthen structures in Ethiopia.  I realize that that's probably like
asking if you know of any fish that swim in water... I know from my
Ethiopian friends that in the small villages, there are still many earthen
homes.  But I am asking if there are any specific regions or areas that
stand out, that are especially interesting and beautiful.  Again, I am a
cob builder and film maker, and I am currently making a documentary film
about cob buildings.  I will be traveling to Ethiopia for about three
months, arriving in early January, and staying till late March.  Any
contacts or information that you might have would be very much
appreciated.  Also helpful is any information about especially beautiful
and/or interesting earth houses in other countries in East Africa...
Thanks a ton  =)
Ashan...
