I have never been able to see another culture from the inside, but this was both beautiful and profound. Perhaps we are all more alike than we let ourselves believe. It is our cultures that divide us. But it is also our cultures who shape us into who we are. How can we find a middle ground? Great job on this. This is a very moving story.

The pictures are awesome as well. Did you take them? I\'ve never been to the Sahara but I love desert landscapes---there\'s something about their vastness, all that empty space, that seems to clean out your soul.
