Wonderful photos! Looks like a fascinating place.
Thanks for the photos! I've never been to Tunisia either. It looks beautiful. glad to have you back, too :)
Very, very cool. Thanks for sharing. The only stuff I know about Tunisia is what I learned when Ian from Globetrekker went there. Looks like a pretty amazing place.
Tunisia! TOooooomuch!!
Wow! I love Roman stuff. The pictures are great and Tunisia is now on my list.
nice to see you, to see you nice!
you've set foot on a fort used for Life of Brian?? Kudos!
Amazing. I really liked the sunrise the best, it looks like a postcard!
I think it's great that "Life of Christ" and "Life of Brian" were shot in the same place!
Fantastic photos - I'm with everyone else - it is now on my list of must-sees! I was ignorant to the fact that the Roman Empire stretched down through Africa - fascinating. Where are you going next? Can I come?
