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 chickensŠ.

 

Here I am on the farm and herešs Slim with his grandfatheršs walking stick.

We spent a lot of time touring the areaŠ

 

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 animalsŠ

Some lizards (2) named Bill Clinton & Monica Lewinsky

And some snakes with Jess (2) & Slim
