Pictures!

Sheep waiting their turn to be slaughtered. Note the fresh blood on their backs from those that went before them. This picture is taken on an average street in front of a typical butcher shop.


Sidewalk maintenence is not currently at the top of the Tunisian to-do list.


Bright, delicate flowers that are found in abundance throughout the residential neighborhoods.


The picture does not begin to do the smell justice. If you can't tell, "water" is flowing up out of the sewer.


Local Tunisian high school, about 4 blocks from our home.


A typical street produce stand. Seasonal produce, currently: zucchini, carrot, pomegranate, grapes, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, nectarine, peppers.


A street near our house.


Tunis summed up in one picture: a mosque with a yellow VW Polo taxi , on a small, busy street.


The beginning of our lettuce.


A typical empty lot, this one is actually rather clean.


Our new clothes dryer.


We have added some new plants in an attempt to cover up one of the Tunisian architectural features on the back of our house. You can barely see the green cement block at the bottom of the downspouts. That cement partially covers our exposed sewer.


One of our two (well hopefully two, we haven't seen one for a few days and we have a very small yard with few places to hide) Tunisian Tortoises.


It might not look like rain but it was raining hard and windy when we reached the end of the road just Southeast of Raf Raf.


Our vegetable garden.


A ruin that we happened to drive past. It is now home to a donkey.


Fresh Calamari in the back and fresh (as in uncooked, just out of the sea) sea urchin.


In port in Bizerte, before heading out on the boat.


Entrance to the Medina in downtown Tunis


Atlas Domaine Winery


Camels on Gammarth Beach


Sunset Gammarth Beach


Simon Gammarth Beach


Small Boat for Octopus Fishing


The little friend that we brought home in a head of lettuce.
