Saint Mary's Coptic Curch is straight ahead.  The CIAAO Hotel is to the right, behind the AGIP station.  On the left is one of the small stations or shelters similar to the one taken recently by Paolo Gadignani.  This was the station from which I left the Littorina in 1961, which I mentioned in my narative about a trip from Asmara to Massawa.  .

The above scene is from the 1990 battle where the Eritreans defeated the army of the Derg.  It is on the causeway between the Mainland and the Island of Taulud.
