The Stars Are So Pretty Out In Remote Areas

June 9, 2022

the moon as seen from the Sahara Desert

I remember when I was out camping on an island in Mexico that one of the things I loooooved was looking up at the stars at night.

There was no light pollution on the island. There were hardly any people on the island. It was a protected place. You had to get a special permit to camp there.

And being out there, you could just really, fully see the whole night sky, and it was so lovely.

And so when I was in the Sahara desert, I was in my cabin and thought, “wait a minute. I’m pretty far out from civilization right now. I wonder if the sky is pretty.”

And I went outside and the sand felt so great on my feet. And I just looked up at the stars and tried to take it all in.

(I know the moon never translates to photos – especially iPhone photos as nice as it was in person. But I took the little picture in this post anyway :-))

So, that’s another night in the desert, and I’ll get to more Morocco tomorrow!

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
