After Mahdia, mom, dad, and I headed back to Tunis to spend the week here. They went to work with me most days which was wonderful! They were awesome with my students and my students loved having them there! We also had friends over for dinner some nights. We did very little sightseeing in Tunis because they saw a lot last time they were there and they were very ok with that! Here is our week in pictures!
Monday
We went to Sadika, which is a store with lots of glass items that they blow themselves. It is beautiful! Mom did lots of shopping there!
For dinner, we had sushi!
Tuesday
Mom and I ran some errands and then we had mac n cheese for dinner and tart homemade lemon pie from the lemons in my garden.
Wednesday
Sonya, a PreK TA, made and brought us homemade Tunisian couscous for lunch! It was oh so yummy!
Mom and I went to the hammam to be scrubbed down and massaged! It was just what we needed to destress and mom loved the Tunisian experience!
Thursday
Mom and dad went on a tour of the Medina and had an absolute blast!
After they got back, mom took some selfies with my Tunisian co-workers who she loves!

After work, mom took Zoe on a walk around the neighborhood. She met the "Resident Rat" which is basically this dog that is more like a rat that annoys Zoe. He spends his time sniffing Zoe's bottom as we walk.
For dinner, we have Karen and John and Cheryl and Lou over for dinner for burgers and lemon pie! It was such a fun night with my dear friends!
On Friday afternoon, mom and dad were suppose to fly home. But that didn't happen thanks to ticket number mix-ups and Lufthansa and United pointing figures at each other. However, they flew out today and will make it home late tomorrow night. I miss them both terribly and loved, loved, loved having them here to visit! I love you to the moon and back, mom and dad!
