I'm in charge of the men. Just the thought of the desert mass is scorching hot. This journey is for the Salt-Gold trade. The salt is in the south, the gold in the north. We trek across the arid land on camel, and attempt to ignore the heat. This trip is fatal, for we may meet thieves, run out of provisions, or even get lost. We may only hope for safety, which we may not receive. Alas, a life without danger is a life wasted. ]]> 2018-11-30 16:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/309846729 jackson_andrew https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/309856980 Today is the day we must buy our provisions. Morocco is hot, but not as hot as the Sahara. The marketplace smells like sweat and spices, a somewhat disheveling stench. It's a bustling place, awfully full for this time of day. Loud talking fills the air, all different languages- half of which I don't understand. Ali, leader of the caravan, leads us around as we purchase all kinds of items. Camels, food, clothing, jugs for water. As I walk, many unusual items appear, people too. We soon find all of our items, and leave to rest.  ]]> 2018-11-30 16:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/309856980 jackson_andrew https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/311960532 I awaken, and immediately see a sick man. He is one of my favorites, for he is trustworthy. Yet, he may have influenza. Should we leave him behind? He may be too weak. No, we cannot abandon him. It is unfair. With a sigh of slight contempt, I lay again, and continue to rest. He shall be okay. ]]> 2018-12-06 18:22:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/311960532 jackson_andrew https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/313639894 We have left recently. Within the day, many travelers warned of bandits. This concerns me, for the men look to me for guidance. I am unsure of what to do now. We could either flee, fight, or bribe.  ]]> 2018-12-11 21:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jackson_andrew/fuhgb4wpir8j/wish/313639894
