ちょっと不思議な山、タカ山。スーダンとエリトリアの国境近くで、平らな砂漠に突然ドンと立つ巨大な岩山。砂利だと思っていた一つ一つの石は、いざ登ってみると何メートルもの巨石で、それをよじ登って掻い潜ってたどり着いたテッペンからは、二つの国が見渡せる。山の麓のカッサラの街は都会ではないけれど賑やかで、ロバと馬が道の半分を覆い尽くし、市場には食べ物が並び何だか平和な良いところ。街と山とをひとくくりにして、何だかとても居心地のよいカッサラ滞在だった。この街は、ちょっと好き。

DAY 577 : MT. TAKA TIMELAPSE
Mt. Taka is a little mysterious mountain. On the border between Sudan and Eritrea, the gigantic rocky mountain stands straight in the middle of flat dessert plane. Every piece of pebbles were huge rocks once we took a close look up on the mountain of which two different countries are visible at the peak. Cassara is a peaceful town at the foot of it, not too clouded but kind of busy with the streets half occupied by donkeys and horses and the market filled with all the foods. It was very comfortable staying here including both the mountain and the town. I kind of like it here.
