Sahara Safari

I was very lucky and got to go on a 3 day trek around most of Tunisia. We started in Hammemet, on the NE coast, and drove along the coast, then into the central part of the country, into the northern part of the Saharan Desert, then back through the Atlas Mountain Range. It was awesome! I saw so much, and got to do some incredible things, namely ride a camel! Here are some pics of the journey.

Couscous!
