Excerpt from My Abyssinian Journey: A Journey Through Abyssinia From the Red Sea to Nairobi in 1906 in the Days of Emperor Menelik The streets were simply alley-ways, about a yard wide; the over hanging balconies of some of the houses and hotels almost completely shut off the sunlight, and from some of these balconies it was possible to reach across to the house on the opposite side of the street Did one happen to meet a donkey or mule with pack-saddles coming along the street, it was necessary to step aside into some doorway to allow it to pass.
