Last Friday, I got a tour of downtown Tunis and through the Medina (shopping/market area) with Aouatef (who is the admissions director at ACST). She invited a couple of us to come downtown (where she lives) and see the real Tunis! It was great to leave the expat area and see how the rest of Tunis lives. Aouatef is Tunisian and I loved seeing how much she loves this place!
Loved this cat... reminded me of Mozart
LOTS of fish in the medina
Cactus fruit... not too bad as long as you don't bit down all the way
Laura working her way through it
View of the Medinas
Lots and lots of fabric (can't wait for my sewing machine to get here)
This window reminded you of me, Aunt Jeanne
These are called chaptis (what fun is that) but it is filled with eggs, tuna, spices
Me, Laura, and Abbey with our chapti
Cool Light Store
Really cool stairs in this awesome old old house that is now a store
Rooftop view from the really old house
When brides get married, they have these baskets for henna
Cool archway outside of the medina
Auditorium in Tunis
The French restaurant we ate at
We got yummy steaks! Aouatef didn't want her picture taken!
Abbey is so creative
Aouatef's friend was so sweet and simple
Laura's steak was the most yummy
I got...
Steak Tar-Tar!!! YUM!!
And every great meal, ends with ice cream!
