Puppy Love in Tunisia

Puppy Love

The Roman ruins, the fabulous seafood tagines (dishes) and endless sandy beaches, I'm enjoying absolutely everything about Tunisia. Even better is this new fuzzy friend I nabbed after our journey through the ancient city of Utique.

Utique is the oldest roman ruins that exist in Northern Africa. There are 2 houses that have been excavated along with a Punic necropolis or burial ground, flower garden and warm water natural spring well.

Through a cluster of cypress trees are two Corinthian columns overlooking beautiful marble mosaics and etchings of fish, turtles, shells and eels. A stone sarcophagi dating back BC holds the remains of a 17 year old girl's skeleton completely intact.

Our guide insisted that the sundial was built on a structure that looks like a turtle. Pictures of everything are still pending...
