Me ‘n’ Ali made it to the Colosseum at El Djem, and to the gorgeous national museum full of preserved Roman mosaics.
Travel
North and West in Tunisia
In which Ali and I head, ahem, north and west. Or rather west and then north. Very near Algeria, actually. And from HOT to mountain to sea.
Enjoying La Marsa and Tunis one more time
When Ali decided to come see me in Tunisia, I got a chance to make amends for my failure to see more of this beautiful country. Post #1!
Hammamet, Tunisia
A lovely quick weekend visit to a hotel in Hammamet. Sparkly seas, delicious food, and a fortress to explore in the medina.
Flying
On the vagaries of nonsensical panic, the gallantry of a good man, and my (possible) return to airplane grace, with a little love for DCA
Camel love
A quick story about the camels I’ve passed around while traveling, ever since moving to Tunisia. I got to see the shop where they’re made!
How many seasons? Hint: It’s FOUR
How many seasons? The answer is FOUR. The Four Seasons resort in Tunisia (ten minutes up the road from us) for a birthday junket and a lil’ bit o’ luxury.
From Russia with love
Time travel with me to Russia. This is a trip from 2004 – before I blogged. Looking at the pictures brings it all back!
Favorite story
Bougainvillea, and a plea for us to get past partisanship and unite against the politicians playing us like a big ol’ xylophone.
