To Prove I Am Not A Ghost

Posted in: Uncategorized by bill-o on August 13, 2010

Two “extreme tourists”, Guilluame Combot and Enora Nedelec, have recently made the 18-month journey by foot from Capetown to Khartoum, from south to north across sub-Saharan Africa. Surviving on about $2.00 (US) each day and with only two backpacks of supplies, the pair walked each day not knowing where they would sleep each night. You can read their story here: “Extreme Tourists Set Off To Walk Across Africa”.

Combot and Nedelec entered some areas of southern Sudan that are so remote that the local people did not even know what a “tourist” was. The locals there could only conceive of the possibility that these two travelers were really foreign aid workers.

But at one point, the very-long-distance pedestrians entered a village that is so isolated that its inhabitants had never seen white people before. The villagers forced Combot to eat something to prove that he was not a ghost.

  1. Hm. There may be some “shadows and symbols” meat in my seeing myself as an extreme tourist. One of my favorite meditations is from Henri Nouwen, who invites me to see myself as a tourist taking snapshots I’ll share with my Father and family when I return home after death.
