“that, the call of our journey interrupted my grief. From Egypt, we trailed our way through the rest of the continent. We rested in Timbuktu to see the mysteries famed to dwell there; then trekked south still, through the Congo, where we greeted the gorillas. “Then farther south, through the life-filled plains of the Serengeti, where the world stretched endlessly to the horizon, far, far through places whose names I can’t recall, and even to the bronze dunes of the Namib, where the desert greets the sea like an old friend. Under the blazing sun of Africa, we teetered here and there and everywhere, until at last, we came to the very end, to a place where two oceans meet and the sea had birthed a mountain.”
