What do you use your elevator for?

The question of the week . . .



What do you use your elevator for?
We use it to take out our trash. This week our trash was an exceptionally large amount. We (my roommate and I) couldn't get it down the stairs (it was way too heavy) so we loaded the elevator. Don't worry we sprayed this nice, smelly stuff in after we were finished.

Some good eatin'



Our Tunisian friend made us the best meal ever. I gained at least 5 pounds during this one dinner.

And still there is more . . .



This is where children were sacrificed to the god Baal and the goddess Tanit.













Do you know what these symbols mean?

More of Tunisia

This is a picture of a baptisty (part of a church) that was here before the romans and muslims moved in. We also visited historical places. This is a picture where the romans killed christians for their faith. Two females (one a mother of a newborn) were killed here.


I had the opportunity to study some history while there. Before the Arabs moved into North Africa the peoples were christian. Here is a picture of a woman who is from one of the origional people groups called "berbers".

Blue is everywhere . . .




I took this really cool trip to Tunisia and loved it. We traveled up and down the country meeting people, eating, buying, and having a blast. Here are some pictures.
