GLOBETROTTERS WRITING PROMPT
From The Dust in the Desert to the Mist Rising in the Wetlands
Terrains of the vast African continent
The rain is dropping onto the roof of our tent. The raindrops appear to fall slower and slower. The sky is clearing up as the birds begin to sing again. The roaring thunder from earlier this morning is long gone and almost forgotten. Another day in the wet season. In Africa.
No place on earth has ever fascinated and intrigued me as much as the African continent. While many think it’s one country, Africa has 54 countries hosting more than 3,000 tribes speaking in over 2,000 languages to each other.
If this doesn't represent the variety of this vast continent, I am going to mention its geographical features that spread further than just the well-known Sahara desert.
In Africa, you can find red and black sand. You can find sand on beaches and inside one or the other desert. You can find the longest river (Nile) and you can find the tallest lone-standing mountain peak on earth.
You can get heat stroke and die of cold. You can experience sand and snow storms. Yes, it does snow in Africa and not just on top of the tallest mountain on the continent.
