Further adventures in France, and in French

Further adventures in France and in French, including cooking, automatons, and an aquarium! Plus, bonus visit to Nantes!

France or La France

We studied French in La Rochelle and explored the region on foot, by bike, and by car. France is much more than Paris!

Maxing out on Star Wars and deserts

Our last stop in the desert and its exciting side-visits. I'm not sure I'm cut out for desert life, but I'm glad we went!

Have you ever wanted to dwell in a cave?

Visiting the troglodyte homes in Matmata and Tamezret, and seeing an oasis first-hand. Beautiful... remote... unnerving...

Finally… to Djerba

The ferry took us to Djerba, where we found two mind-expanding sites in El Ghriba Synagogue and Djerbahood, and then we dipped into the sea.

The Gem of El Djem

Me 'n' Ali made it to the Colosseum at El Djem, and to the gorgeous national museum full of preserved Roman mosaics.
