Morning has broken. It's quiet in the desert. We had no connectivity with the rest of the world, so all we had was ourselves. It was a great trip for unplugging from the nonsense of the online world.

Djanet Algeria Day 1
We went deep in the Sahara to Djanet Algeria for five days of camping, prehistoric rock art, sand, driving, food, more sand, and even some live music. It was an amazing adventure as our time in Algeria comes to an end this summer.

Carlsbad Caverns & Roswell NM
We used our last R&R trip from Algiers to visit home. We made a shortish road trip to New Mexico to visit Carlsbad Caverns and Roswell. We may as well stop by Roswell if we're driving all the way to Carlsbad so that's what we did. Here's some interesting things we saw on this little trip.
