WEDNESDAY 10TH OCTOBER - Debra Damo

This door is 18 metres above the ground.

I am reading the most fascinating book and have just read about this most curious place. This is an all-male area. A sign down by the creek said, "No females of any species allowed beyond this point." A similar sign appears near every Ethiopian Coptic monastery. If a female were to be so rash to come this far, the rope simply would not be lowered for her.
