    Sometimes when I’m doing these geography units something vividly stands out. Sometimes, I only remember bits and pieces, and then there are countries like Benin, where it’s slowly all coming back to me as I type up this post, but it’s all run together in my mind.

    Our study of Eritrea was not a happy one. I know, this is a strange way to start off the post, but sometimes geography lessons make me sad when I learn about the country. Our Eritrea Unit made me sad because there are so many things that could be going great with the country, but…
