Yeah, this is one of my favorites..
Who says geeks can’t get chicks? For those who might not recognize it, this is Luke Skywalker’s home, otherwise known as the Lars Homestead. The locals in Matmata know it as the Hotel Sidi Driss and I doubt it has quite the geek appeal that it does for us [...]

I often find myself faced with a strange and unshakable feeling that I’ve missed something. I don’t mean that my powers of observation have failed to notice something in my immediate surroundings. I have come to accept that I have no powers of observation. My interaction with the sensory world is defined by exactly such [...]

So we are home and the magical quality of Tunisia is already fading into the surreal dream reality of memory. It’s an interesting thing to deal with and I can’t say it’s all bad or all good. It’s all just different now. I learned a lot on that trip – I thikn we both did. [...]

Hey folks. Just got to the hotel du parc in tunis. It is 15:05 here and the weather is beautiful (as always). We are not ready to come home, but we leave just 15 hours from now. Will write more later. Probably can’t post any more pictures until we get home, but we will see..

From africa!
We’ve made it to tunisia and I would very much like to crawl into bed never to show my face to the light of day. It’s eleventybillion o’clock and it’s still bright. I watched the sunset over the atlantic, only to watch it rise again a few hours later. There was darkness without night [...]
