A geocaching story across Addis Ababa

The Chronicle of Thirteen Months

In a little coffee house off a busy Addis Ababa street, there once lived a storyteller everyone called Emama Tsehay — Grandmother Sun.

For sixty years she poured coffee for travelers and told them the stories of her country. Before she retired to the countryside, she wrote everything she knew into a chronicle of thirteen pages — one for each month of the Ethiopian year — and hid the pages around the city for curious travelers to find.
