I hope you get to return and visit northern Africa soon.<br /><br />I will definitely look into the book, too!

It's the book that the movie Invictus used as inspiration but it gives a lot more background and history information. Very well written and even my non-rugby friends have really enjoyed it.Never The Cool Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050913748090565198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896012504326780838.post-78039616140561125252013-11-09T09:11:24.293-05:002013-11-09T09:11:24.293-05:00Have a great holiday!

Otherwise I may just need to make my way to Paris :) Thanks so much for including my photos in this post and it really is true that Africa is one of the most misunderstood regions of the world - people tend to automatically think of safaris and little starving black children running around naked - while there is so much more to it! Huge cosmopolitan cities, complex histories, democracies and dictatorships... pyramids! (like you said). It's much more than what meets the eye. Enjoy your holiday - so well deserved!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238434752028472905noreply@blogger.com
