Dear Becky,
I’m having a very good time here in the Algerian Sahara.
Yesterday, the tourist guide took us on a visit to the Hoggar.
You know what? The Sahara didn’t use to be a desert. It used to
be a green land with large rivers and big lakes which contained a lot of
fish. It had large forests, which were full of dangerous animals. The
people who used to live in the Sahara were cave people. They painted
many beautiful pictures of animals and hunters in the caves where they
lived. They wore the skins of the animals which they hunted. Guess the
origin of the word Sahara! I know you will tell me that it comes from the
Arabic word Sahra which means desert. Well, that’s Sahra what we’ve
learned at school. But I have discovered here that the word Sahara
probably comes from Sagara which is a Sanskrit word for big sea.
I took beautiful pictures of the caves, the frescoes in the Hoggar
and I’m looking forward to showing them to you and my classmates.
With my best wishes.
Ann
