I went back to Somaliland for the first time since I was a toddler, two years ago today. Coming off the plane from Addis, I could almost have kissed the ground. We stayed a week and we seemed to have done many of the same things you did... in fact I am wondering whether that lunch you are showing here wasn't served in that restaurant next to the 'river'. I am not so keen on fat boiled goat meat myself but I loved the Somali rice..... mmmmm!!! (Just one thing, the Italians were never in Somaliland... I think the pasta came over the border from Somalia and Ethiopia) You seem to be very positive about your trip to the country and I agree with you wondering about it being safe. We felt safe enough but it semed as much a matter of courtesy to take a couple of armed guards around with you, and they made good company as well. Did you go for a swim at Berbera? Great beach, eh? Cheers, Charles Hello Carl,

Thus if you don't like goat you are in trouble here. Also there is a lot of pasta. A hang over from from it's Italian colonial past. Much to the amusement of my guards, i took <a href="http://www.carlmontgomery.com/photos/somalia/somaliand03.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">This photo</a> for you. Gotta say though, Somali food is damn good Preemptive Matt Comment
