Hammamet sits on a coastal plain south of Tunis. Brown hills ride the northern horizon. Silver frosted olive groves carpet the flats. At mid-day there are no shadows. The roads are fenced with fat budding cactus. Windblown plastic bags rag the spines. It is here that you will find the sheep. Gathered in flocks ranging in size from one to twenty animals, the pens stretch for miles. Each flock sheph... Read Full Entry

Some small town we stopped in for coffee.

North African Minaret

Decidedly different architecturally than those slender points in Turkey.

Used Sheep Lot

They do not care for 'Lookers'. Cash and carry. Baaaah!

Tunisa
Awesome visit it seems! You and KJ have a great time wherever you go-as it should be. I am sure Karlie is jealous of your return to Morocco. She would like to go back also but is a little anxious about anywhere on Africa right now. Be safe and have a blast. One day we shall also meet!

Guess what? Karlie surprised us and came home on Saturday-really Friday but we saw her Sat. morn. Left Athens for Istanbul and a flight to JFK and then a bus that dropped her off in South Hill where Lindy picked her up and they cooked us pancakes on Sat. morn and blew our minds! So happy to have her home. Great travel adventures but she is still paranoid about the bed bugs she got in Greece so we are freezing her clothes and then a hot wash should do the trick. She is already back to work on the farm-thank heavens-and we are still pinching ourselves that she is really here. Missed that child a lot! Never gets dull here!

Just wanted to let you know we had a HUGE surprise on Saturday-Karlie is home! She left Athens for JFK and then a bus to South Hill where her sister picked her up and they all surprised us with breakfast on Sat. morn. So glad to have her home-don't know how long she will stay but her dad had her working by Sunday afternoon! Great weekend with them all and then Lew went back to school and I had the week off so we got a chance to catch up. Hope your travels are going well and that you are both well. Can't thank you enough for being such great folks and hope to meet someday! Safe travels! Lisa

Thanks, Mike and Karen!
I am home now! Mike, thanks for sending Hillary and me off on that early rainy morning at Chefchaouen!! I felt super warm in my heart! That's part of the reasons that I love travel, helping others and getting others' help! What's you and Karen's next stop?
