12/22/06: Tunis, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said

Today was a packed day. We got a wake-up call at seven and went to breakfast. It was delicious w/ omelettes and pastries and fruit. Then we set off into Tunis to a big museum. It had the largest collection of mosaics in the world and they were very interesting. The tour guide was hard to understand but I still enjoyed it.
We then went to lunch where Miller and I ate seven cups of chocolate mousse for dessert. Then we went to Carthage, a well-preserved Roman civilization overlooking the ocean. It was kind of like Pompeii but a lot smaller.
After that we went to Sidi Abu Said, a blue and white village overlooking Tunis. There were lots of aggressive vendors there and it was a good thing I didn’t bring any money along. The view was great and we caught another amazing sunset.
Tomorrow’s another busy day and we’re heading into the desert. It should be an interesting day.
