People Around Sousse

Here are some of the people from my Sousse trip. These are from the wedding, and travels around Sousse.

Quick hand-held shot at a cafe in El Kantaoui. That's Myriam on the left - she did the Yes Program in Orlando, Florida for a year.

Dan chilling in the Ribat.

Myriam at a cafe down by the beach at Sousse. That's President Ben Ali in the background.

I thought it would be a good idea to teach Myriam's family tabletop football.

A quick shot from the wedding. Quite the entourage, right? What happens is that the groom and his entire family drive over to the wife's family's house and pick her up, and then they all come over to the ceremony. They looked exhausted by the time they showed up.

Random AIESEC story. So, this is the Burns family. The one in the middle is Mallory, an AIESEC US member, and she is traveling in Tunisia with her family, so we met up and talked AIESEC over strawberry juice in Sousse.

On a side note, it was 113 degrees F, with a Saharan wind blowing on Tuesday. So, I went home and did nothing, for a few hours, watching Lost, etc. Around 8pm, I stuck my hand out the window, and it felt as cool as could be. I put on a shirt, shorts, and Jeremy and I went out for dinner at Restaurant Chez Nous, which I highly recommend and is right off Ave. Bourguiba. We had swordfish, veal, and some decent chocolate mousse. Then, we went up to the bar on the top of the Hotel Hana, called Jamaica Bar, and had some awful Tunisian beer (Celtia...). It turns out that our definition of cool was actually the low 80s! But it was a change of 30 degrees and felt positively glacial after the intense heat of the past week.
