I just returned from Tunis with Vance. I think everyone deserves business trips every once and a while. Too often would expand your waistline! I liked being able to tag along cuz I didn't have to be the domestic woman for a week- no cleaning, no cooking, no laundry, nada! Thank goodness there was a fitness room. I was able to run and rid the guilt of the banana split that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The people are generally nice , but I wouldn't bust out in conversation with just anyone though, not that inviting. Tunisia is a very liberal Muslim country. So my in sleeveless or tanks wasn't a complete shock. But regardless of how covered I was, I was stared at. Of course Vance noted this more than I. When we were out in the more resort towns and in tourist areas, I was comfortable, but mostly I felt out of place. Hammamet had a lovely beach.
We had a few channels to watch on the boob tube! I had to laugh at the movie channel we watched, when scenes were edited out so as not to insinuate that a sexual encounter happened. Now that I think about it, kissing scenes were deleted as well. Crazy!
I appreciate the travel experience, but would not but it on the top ten list of my favorite places. I'm always intrigued to learn about different cultures and religions.
I'm glad to be back in Europe! I can go back to talking to strangers and giving hugs to anyone I feel like and kissing my man in public (when he lets me)! People still stare on occasion, but I can handle Italians!
The place of the blue doors and windows! Go if you wanna, but if you're looking for beach time, I would currently recommend Sardegna or Sicily!
