The Bougainvilla make me think of my summer in Tunisia, many, many years ago. Just so beautiful!

Tunisia sounds so romantic. Was it?

Well, I was 17 years old, so everything was romantic! But, yes, it was an incredible, life changing experience for this very sheltered kid. I lived with a wonderful family for three months. I still dream of going back!

What took you there? Now I have to look up where Tunisia is. I think North Africa. Here I go to Google.

I was with the AFS exchange program. I thought I’d go to England, but ended up in North Africa. Fantastic! I lived in the old holy city of Kairouan.

I wound up in Ethiopia. Not on AFS, but just traveling and ended up staying for a year and a half. I wouldn’t go back now.. Like to remember it as it was, although it wasn’t an ideal time to be there at the beginning of the revolution that deposed Selassie.
