Pictures of Tunis

Just a bunch of pictures from the last few days.

Taken from the hill near the Tulip (Looking roughly North).



















From the same hill, looking roughly South East towards La Marsa (main beach in picture) and Sidi Bou Said on the hill (left edge of picture).















Tunisian coins. Their currency is called the Dinar. One Dinar is worth about $0.73. Each Dinar is made up of 1,000 milliems.














Taken from an overpass near ACST showing the general look of the area.















Also taken from the same overpass, looking the opposite direction. The road below is La Marsa highway.

Room service on the deck!















More great Tunisian food! Although this is traditional Tunisian "Brik" I am pretty sure it is a French recipe. It is a light pastry with egg, cheese, and tuna filling.

Gammarth Plage.














New construction in a planned community near Gammarth Plage.














This is a "before shot" so that we can compare the effect that the Tunisian sun has on my Northwestern skin.















More new construction, same area.














Walking near Gammarth Plage (you can't tell but it is mid 90's with 50% humidity, nice time for a 3 mile walk!)















Water front near Gammarth Plage.















Mediterranean sea from the top of Sidi Bou Said.














The planned community. In this pic you can see part of the private port they dug for private use.















The typical colors of Sidi Bou Said.




















Burning garbage near La Marsa plage. The Tunisians have not yet come up with a great method to dispose of their trash.















Looking out toward La Marsa Plage.
















One of Kaylee's many new best friends!
