Weekend Excursion to Dugga and Tabaraka

This past weekend, we had another wonderful field trip. Again, we headed towards the beach (this time to Tabarka in the northwest part of Tunisia, I think). On the way to the beach, we stopped for the afternoon at Dugga. At Dugga we saw ruins from the Punic Period and from the Roman Period. The first picture is from the Roman period:


This picture is of a tower (?) from the Punic period:

After exploring the ruins, we did a talent show on the stage of the theatre there, (the back of the theatre is in the first picture). It was great fun, but very very hot, as summer as finally reached Tunis. (If anyone is interested, yesterday it was 115 degrees in Tunis and the day before it was over 120 degrees - so happy my classroom has air conditioning).

In the evening we arrived at the beach, giving us enough time for a cool dip before dinner. On Sunday, I opted to spend the day at the beach (some others did more active touristy things...). The beach was great and it was nice to take time to relax. Sunday night we returned to Tunis and hit the books (and the heat hit us!).
