This morning our big, yellow, 16 ton semi truck converted to transport 24 tourists and 2 guides showed up. It’s surprisingly spacy and has all kinds of hideaway compartments, an area to lay down for naps, and a “beach” on top to tan. They’re going to break us in slowly with a 6hr drive today. We still have to form our cooking teams and learn the rest of everyone’s names. We’re the only Americans on board with most others from the UK, Ireland, Germany, and 1 Aussie that we know of. Good thing english is the language of choice here… but I’m afraid we’re both unconsciously converting to the queen’s english. Oy!

Tonight we’re be camping in the Sahara desert and doing everything for the first time. No more internet tho for a few days so we’ll try to keep up the blogs as much as possible.

Wish us luck, we’ll need it.
