Today I went to Dougga with some friends from ACST! I love these people so much so it is always so much fun to spend time outside of work (where we are stress free and a bit more relaxed)! Dougga is Roman ruins located about 2 hours from Tunis. It was an easy drive up there and I look forward to going again in the Spring time when the wildflowers are in bloom even more! The ruins were just breathtaking as were the fields around them! It reminded me a lot of Ireland! Oh and I brought Zoe too and she did GREAT! She loved climbing on everything (the stairs did not scare her one bit) and was great with my babysitting boys! I was very impressed and very proud of her! Great views with great friends made this a great Sunday!

Romen so tall!
