A Day in Tunisia

Hello my friends....the rhythm road warriors are back for another exciting adventure abroad. Today is an off day..(an uncreated song "A Day in Tunisia" by Universes plays in the background) The internet service out here is a little crazy, first its free....and then literally you get disconnected after about an hour or so and then you have to pay and use a code....and that went on for a day...and now look...free internet again....I don't know...it all seems to depend on who you talk to in the hotel...onwhat type of free or non free service you get...hmmm....

Anyway back to the day....we took and nice car ride out to Carthage...

Now for those of you who don't know Carthage was founded in 814 B.C. by Phoenician colonizers. By the 4th century B.C. it had become the major force in this part of the Mediterranean. The Punic Wars led to the destruction of the city although it rose again under Roman rule. It was subsequently conquered by the Vandals who were replaced by the Byzantines in the 6th century. Following its capture by the Arabs in AD 695, Carthage gradually fell into ruins....Wow look what a public school education can do...with a little help a from Eyewitness Travel Guide.....we got a chance to walk through the ruins...

through the museum 

and to see the Amphitheatre. Amazing...truly amazing....we even performed a little because the acoustics were incredible....and we've got footage.....it should pop up sooner or later...I hope the heavens were smiling

We then drove down to an area they call the Bay, went to a Shesha place and drank tea...had some sheesha and watched the sun go down....Oh yes this is what I call a tour. 

We took so many pictures, our camera batteries were dying by the end of the day...Sky Tunisian blue doors..... And food...lots of food today....Tunisian food...pizza...Lebanese food. And bread....we have eaten sooooo much bread. You gotta love it....("A Day in Tunisia" song slowly fades out)
