Land, ho!

Ahoy, me hearties! I apologize for not being it touch lately. Captain Moonbeard and I have been treading some dangerous waters! We got caught in a hurricane and it spit us out right on the coast of Africa! Africa is a wonderful continent, with plenty of animals to see and places to explore! Our first stop is the Sahara Desert. Don't let the purty name fool ye...the desert is definitely no place for a parrot! Silly Stephenson promised me that she would show you what the Sahara Desert looks like with a special geographic tool...Google Earth. I'm going to stop squawking now so you can get exploring. After you look at the Sahara Desert, I'd like you to write me everything you know and I also want to know if Google Earth helped you. Until next time, me hearties! Sparky the Parrot
