Sasha is off to the Wirikuta Desert which reminded how much I love deserts. The first time I realised my attraction to deserts was when I was in Egypt shortly after Sasha was born. At the time I was there for only 3 days and mainly spent time visiting Cairo and the Pyramids but I remember looking out to the desert beyond and feeling a pull a bit like when you are on the edge of a cliff (but less dangerous!). Since then I have visited Namibia which has the Namib and the Kalahari desert both of which would have been on my list if I hadn't seen them already. I think it's the ruggedness and emptiness that pulls me. And, of course, that deserts cannot be tamed.
Anyway here is my priority list of deserts to visit:
Anyway here is my priority list of deserts to visit:
- Heart of the Sahara (Mali/Algeria/Chad)
- Gobi (Mongolia)
- Gibson desert (Australia)
- Atacama desert (Chile)
- Chihuahua Desert (Mexico. For Blueberry)
Bonus: Wirikuta (depending on Sasha's experience), Arabian (depending on Politics) and Dasht-e Kavir in Iran (to annoy Trump).
