Salaam my Little Friends,
This is Bart - your traveling Blogger. I am back in Africa! This time I am in Northern Africa. Salaam means “peace” in Arabic, which happens to be the native language of Libya, the country I am touring today. Check out the Map Link.
Libya is a very different country from America. The main religion is Islam. Almost the entire country worships in places called mosques. They have many unique customs and beliefs. Here’s a picture of what many of the school kids your age look like: Picture.
There was a huge battle in this land long, long ago. It was called the Battle of Carthage. Carthage was a famous city that had a good port and an important military location. In 146 BC, the Romans destroyed Carthage and took over control of North Africa.
Here is a link similar to the Russian site I sent you. You can listen and see the Arabic language.
Before I sign off and head out to my next big adventure I wanted to ask you a trivia question – 90% of Libya is covered by what kind of habitat?
I can’t wait to see if your next blog has the answer. I’ll log on and check it out as soon as I can.
Oh, and by the way, I am sending you another special package! Let me know when you get it and I’ll tell you the story behind it and why I sent it to you.
Your Lippy, Long, and & Lime-loving Pal,
Bart
