Al salaam a'alaykum (A formal greeting in Arabic that stands for “peace be on you”), How are y’all? I just returned from a trip to Tunisia. Nestled along the Mediterranean coast in Northern Africa, Tunisia has been a crossroads of cultures for several millennia. I didn’t know much about the country before my visit.

My Past Revisited
Thank you for rekindling wonderful memories from 1971 ,no less, of my beloved Chenini and in contrast the stunning jasmine-scented but now overtouristed Sidi bou Said. Tour buses should be banned?? I stayed there a few months al together and alas, an after -Wall Street debacle leaves me with zero for travel but I appreciate your blog as I imagine the Tunisian govt does. Best of luck
