A Visit To Southern Tunisia - June 24

The southern part of the country is where many of the Berber community is located.  We passed through a few of the towns and stopped at this one for lunch.  This area is located in what we would call a very harsh area ... barren landscape, very hot during the day, etc.  So they have learned to work with the landscape instead of "fighting" it as we do.  Their homes are carved right into the rock.  The ultimate in environmental technology!  Their homes are kept at a comfortable +22, day/night; winter/summer without any heating/air conditioning.  Hmm, sounds like we can learn a lot from these people!
