Home Tour!

Welcome to 5 allee du Jasmin in Cite les Pines!


Come into my gate 

and up to the front door 

but then look to the right

and to the left to see my front yard.

Here is my rosemary plant (covered in fallen flowers). 

Go around the corner to see my driveway (even though I park my car outside the gate because it is not an automatic gate which means it has to be manually opened each time I need to park.  Hard life!

At the end of the driveway, it my avocado tree!


My shed and supposedly my turtle Gracie lives in the purple plants

My backyard

My lemon tree

My lemon tree that is not ready so they look like limes

My back patio and basil plant.  Go through that door to the left and

enter my kitchen!  The back door is straight ahead with the red camel on it.

 Here is the other side of the kitchen

To the left of the kitchen is the downstairs bathroom and laundry room

Across from the bathroom is the dining room

To the right of dining room is the entry way and front door

First week back in Tunis

Man I have been a bad blogger! I spent my last week in the states at appointments and packing. Last Friday, mom and I left for Tunisia and landed on Saturday.  We spent most of the week setting up my new house and classroom. Mom was an amazing help and I loved spending so much time with her!  Here are some random pictures from our week...

My living room the first night we got home... suitcases everywhere


Mom and I the next morning... jet lag mostly behind us! :)

First room done all thanks to mom!

My front door (and adorable pup)

Monday morning mom and I headed to the market before going into work. Morning time is definitely when to go to the market... no one was there! It was great to see my market guys again!

Proud of all the things we hung in the living room

Too fun bulletin boards... we are the Radcliff Rabbits this year!

On Thursday, we headed to La Marsa for shopping and dinner! See the sea behind us?

For dinner, we ate at my favorite restaurant in Tunisia.  I don't know the name but I call it the yellow door restaurant.

The inside of it... I love the atmosphere!

Mom and her ravioli

Me with my steak

 This is our neighborhood cat mom named Moses

While I was at meetings on Friday, mom went to the roof of one of our buildings and took some pictures.  I love the views!



This is our blue door on campus

Mom and Zoe took a selfie before she flew off to head home

On morning, a friend of mine took a pic of mom and me in my car. Mom loved driving here!

Saturday after meet the teacher, Laura and Angie met me in my room and we were going to walk to lunch together.  As I was packing up, I discovered the two f them sitting in my reading center on my prek sized couch! Too cute!

Mom, it meant the world to me to have you come and spend a week with me in Tunis! I loved spending time with you and truly appreciate all your help in setting up my classroom and house! I am so excited both are done and it could not be done without you! I love you to the moon and back!
