So I made it back from Tunisia, happy with a few more freckles on my nose, and a variety of camel leather goods. It was a great trip-having never been to an Islamic country before, I was fascinated with the culture. That, coupled with the amazing setting, blew my mind on a daily basis.
Day 1
4:45 Wake up to depart by 6:00 AM
5:52 Find out that we are not leaving until 7:00 AM
7:02 Get into taxi cab in extremely bad mood
8:37 Discover chocolate croissants at airport bar. Bad mood dissipates.
11:15 Depart for Tunis
12:38 Arrive in Tunis
1: 30 Arrive at Hotel Diplomat
3:30 Depart for Medina/Souk. Enjoy 70’s Mercedes Bus.
3:50 Visit to perfume shop. Owner peddles a variety of scents including “Sex Machine…only for Saturday nights, tickatickaticka.”
4:15 We are followed by strange Tunisian man who apparently wants to come with us. We sic the cops who have been following us at a discreet distance on him. He leaves.
4:30 Tea Shop. I drink mint tea with pine nuts and then smoke cherry flavored hookah with 13 other people. Love Tunisia.
5:45 Return to hotel for shower because I smell like airport, “Sex Machine”, and hookah
8:00 Dinner (Spaghetti, ironically)
9:00 I pass out. The next morning my roommate Danielle informs me that I snore.
