On The Write Path

Tent City

A tent city of semi-nomads. A line in the sand created to create a new state for when the French would leave. A country of sand and quicksand. South of Morocco and the Sahrawi, The Sahara, The Sahel.

Meteorites? Yep. Was offered some by a Sahrawi I met in Oslo years ago.

Fish? Of course.

This is where the people 'turn black' according to the Portuguese explorers of the 1400s.

Interesting to visit a city of tents, like the Syrian refugee camps of Jordan. Not so thrilling to think that Americans put children in cages and sweep away homeless encampments. This place would show Americans that there are better ways...

Americans will never visit.

But... someday perhaps I will. Both Senegal and Sahrawi are on my wish list. I'd probably fly to Dakar and go north through St. Louis. But ... there are direct flights from Paris when I checked long time ago.

We're writers and here's a golden opportunity to see a famous library and a shipyard graveyard. Our muse should be inspired by one them to discuss. Maybe even both.
