We pulled into Matmata at around 530 or 6. We drove to the Starwars set and went inside to check it out. While inside, Marie negotiated with a guy to get a tour of a troglodyte house for five dinars for all of us. It was right next to the hotel. We trooped over and went inside. An old woman came in and snorted about a bit. We were being shown around by a younger guy. The house was interesting and appeared still lived in but things were a bit too clean to be occupied full time. The old woman wanted us to stay to have some food, for money of course, but we declined. She said in Arabic “No one ever wants to eat!” It all was a bit sad. We paid the old woman the five dinars for letting us see her house and left.
