Tozeur is
a town located in Southwest Tunisia, on the edge of the Sahara. Slimšs
grandmother owns a date farm on the oasis (about 5 km outside of Tozeur), which
includes lots of date trees, a few fruit (fig, apple, citrus) trees, a few cows
and chickens.
Here I am on the farm and herešs Slim
with his grandfatheršs walking stick.
We spent a
lot of time touring the area
The first
night we went into Tozeur, and we rode camels
The next
day we drove to Chebika, another oasis with really beautiful scenery and the
remains of a village that was washed away by a freak rainstorm in 1969. The Atlas Mtn. Range goes through
Tunisia, and this oasis was situated on the side of a
small mountain. We had to
climb through some tight spots to get up the mountain.
There is a
spring with cool water, and a small lake in between the mountains.
That same
afternoon, we went to Tamerghza, another small oasis town. Herešs a waterfall
in the desert! And Daoud took us
on a short hike back to a canyon.
That night
we went to a zoo, where a very nice tour guide introduced us to a lot of
animals
Some
lizards (2) named Bill Clinton & Monica
Lewinsky
And some
snakes with Jess (2) & Slim
