Day 4: Meeting a Camel

I have been walking for days, and the heat has really gotten to me.  The Sahara Desert covers over 3.5 million square miles, but it wasn't always like this. Over 2 million years ago, this desert was not as big as it is now, but spread through desertification. Through this whole trip, I haven't been wearing much. I stowed away my outer clothing and am down to the thinnest clothing, as it keeps me cool while still protecting me from the hot rays of the sun. At around sunset, I found a wandering camel, and killed it for its meat and milk. I scraped around for some logs and wood in the desert, (although there wasn't much) and started a fire with my lighter. I cooked the meat and ate it for dinner that night.
