Back in Tunisia... El Jem and Monastir

So apparently the fight between blogger and me is not yet over.  On Friday, Aunt Jeanne and I went to El Jem to tour the coliseum there and then headed to Monistar were we spent the rest of the weekend.  But Blogger downloaded my pics from Monastir first and El Jem last.  Oh well...  Here goes anyway!

Monastir is a cute town that is on the Mediterran Sea and on the port!  Our apartment we stayed at had a gorgeous view of the Mediteran Sea out the front door and a breath-taking view of the bay from our back porch.  This apartment was perfect!  Had just what we needed and in a great location!

Portside in the morning!  Lots and lots of sail boats!


First thing Saturday morning we went swimming in the Mediterranean Sea


Saw these two "pirate ships" that were actually party boats!

We ate at this adorable Tunisian restaurant two nights in a row.. great food and amazing service!

Best wine I have had in Tunisia

Amazing flat bread!

BEST Tunisian soup!

Our adorable waiter!  Can't wait to go back to Monastir to visit him!

Okay so now back to El Jem which is where we went on Friday.  El Jem has a coliseum that is similar to the one in Rome (but in my opinion better but I may be opinionated)!

Here are MANY pictures of the coliseum... couldn't pick just one! ;)











 
 

Then we went to a mosaics museum


Thanks for coming to Tunisia Aunt Jeanne to travel with me!  It meant a lot to me to have you here!
