Sometimes you just need something a little shiny.
Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 3:35PM There are days when I never manage to think about the countries that we focus on past the immediate and seemingly perpetual crises. There is so much need and so much suffering, how is it possible to think about anything else. And yet, these countries have wildlife and historic sites and culture. Often it is harrassed by years of conflict, but it's there if you look.

An article called In Sudan, an animal migration to rival Serengeti in the NYT ( it's old-2007-but still of interest)
Some photos of Suakin Island at this website. Suakin is a port on the west coast of the Red Sea. The old city there ws built of coral, and is now in ruins.
Photos of The Sudd, a gorgeous wetland in Southern Sudan, like this one:
