In spite of the Arabic script, most people recognize the gas station
as Shell.
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.
