The following passage stands out:<BR/><BR/>"No man can live this life and emerge unchanged. He will carry, however faint, the imprint of the desert, the brand which marks the nomad; and he will have within him the yearning to return, weak or insistent according to his nature. For this cruel land can cast a spell which no temperate clime can match." <BR/><BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/><BR/>Tom NAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4301230285143488965.post-19537711987518444342009-02-25T08:02:00.000-08:002009-02-25T08:02:00.000-08:00Merri,Great story with really cool pictures.
