Last weekend we were invited by some friends to join with the local area's Lions Club to visit a Berber community located near Zaghouan. Located south of Tunis, this area is quite picturesque ... very green, hills, and lots of historical points of interest.
We feel very fortunate to have been invited along, and as the saying goes ... became an "accidental tourist". Hard to believe so much could be packed in one day!
Some highlights were viewing the ancient Roman Aquaduct system along the roadside. These "ruins" are actually in pretty good shape considering their 3,000 years age! And literally go on for miles ....
After visiting the Berber community there, we returned to Zaghouan to join together for a traditional Tunisia meal. Even though this was lunch, there were so many courses I lost count. And yes, there was a couscous dish as one of the courses. Dangerously delicious :)
I've been playing around with some movie maker software - so here's my little movie "photo" album of this part of the afternoon:
Hi Janice
ReplyDeleteSaw your sister on TV today - Cdn Figure Skating Championships. Kevin Reynolds came second so he and I guess she will be going to France.
Lori Watkins had a tea party for last year's executive. Nice time. Betty was there and I think enjoyed herself. We did a lot of laughing.
My January has been a bit too quiet but lots of time for planning. Will be going to Seattle for two nights in February - first travel outing for 2012. And I'll be taking a number of art workshops in February.
Hope all is well with you.
Hugs
