　TraveIAcross Africa 　　For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending， Daniel and ljust wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth， a beautiful leather notebook l'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
　　Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions， We were almost drunk on sensations The roaring (咆哮) of the water at Victoria Falls， the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
　　And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto IMng in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
　　As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
