XXX - Tunisia is a wonderful place; the archeological sites are incredible, simply because they are not roped off, like they are in Rome. Carthage is magnificent - that is where Hannibal lived and is the current location of one of Ben Ali’s palaces. (HA!) It is full of Roman, Byzantine and Phoenician ruins. There is a Tofet just across the street from the local produce markets as well. Dig sites are everywhere and your son will be free to climb down into them. It is quite an experience. The Tunisian people are very nice and helpful, but tell your boy to be mindful of thieves. There is a large ex-pat community in Tunis and he will have the opportunity to socialize with people from all over the world as well as the locals. There is a lot of tourism from Europe and many fine hotels that offer great windsurfing and sailing and just about any other water sport you can imagine to the public. The food is fabulous (make sure he tries the brik) Les Ombrelles, in La Marsa was one of our favorite restaurants. Sidi Bou Said is a great place to buy all sorts of unique local artistry and local snacks. The entire little city is blue and white, it’s wonderful. The Mediterranean is beautiful - he will come home with many fine memories.
