The Sahara

I spent the last two nights in the Sahara staying in a tent and hanging out with a Berber family. It was really an incredible experience. After a meal of couscous and mint tea the Berbers played their drums around the fire for us. I had never seen the stars so well. Other Berbers from surrounding camps slowly trickled in following the sound of the drums. People were dancing and singing; Berber, French, Dutch, and English being spoken. It was enjoyable just to sit there and take it all in.
