Mary's Day Out

These are photos from Mary's trip into the dessert to see the Sudanese pyramids.  I know she is going to post some photos eventually, but as she is busy, I am giving you a taster.  I hope I haven't just blown out a post for you Mary!

From her email:
that is one harsh envirornment!!  It was just amazing to see the land, the people and their lives as well as the pyramids (they were great too).  Hot, dry scrabble kind of existence.  One place we stopped the local elder was telling our driver that the well they had (and there were lots of camels drinking there) was 250 feet deep and dug by hand...can you EVEN imagine?!?  People come from all over with their plastic jugs tied to their donkies for their only water--and I don't think they are using it for showering

Can She Do It?

I am keeping my fingers crossed--it has taken me over two hours just to figure out how to switch Google Blogger from Arabic to English!! Baby steps, baby steps....if this works, stay tuned to more!!
