An Afternoon in Carthage

Well, perhaps as you can see from the overcast sky in the pictures below, this weekend ended up being unseasonably cold and rainy, so no beach. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the warm weather and sun returns quickly....

So, instead of going to the beach I spent a relaxing Saturday hanging around Tunis. I took a nice walk and ended up in the meat section of the general market, where I can buy a cow head for very little (yuck...)

On Sunday, I took a 20 minute trolley ride with many other people in my group to the city of Carthage. It was really cool to see the ruins of the city from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC and I put a couple of pictures from the visit below.
