Oh, man, I could do with some of that! It's cold and rainy here, encore...
So pretty!
Oh.. my... gosh. How do you ever draw yourself away from that view for work? Work gets in the way of life sometimes! :-)
I was an exchange student to Tunisia in high school. Were you in Tunis? I lived in Ez-Zahra. I'm so jealous!
Sue, that's so strange - we always stay at the hotel in Ez-Zahra! I can't imagine being an exchange student here though (especially in high school), what was that like??
Must be hard to be you on days like this!
It was great! I lived with a wealthy family on Rue des Violettes right near the beach. We had servants which made me uncomfortable. The mom was French and the dad was Tunisian. I loved the food. The mom made the best couscous I have ever had. She made the couscous by hand from semolina flour. I was 17 at the time. I had never been away from home before and it was a bit daunting. The only time I felt homesick was when I developed intestinal problems probably from drinking unpasteurized milk. I loved the sandwiches they sold on the street- fried dough with a slit that had potato, tuna, black olives and harissa sauce. I was there during summer vacation and hung out on the beach. I had a boyfriend named "Mohamed Ali". I have such fond memories....I try to tell my students about it (I am a French teacher) but I don't think they appreciate it!
