In the middle of Tozeur

Mar 2
During the six hour bus ride to Tozeur R. asked “are we in the middle of nowhere”. “Yes” was the pretty accurate answer from both her parents. A fairly desolate landscape. Tozeur’s reason d’etre is the huge palm tree plantation so we took a long walk through it. People were friendly again I’m glad to report. After a dusty walk enjoyed a cold Celtia beer.
