Well i finally was able to get a connection to the internet that i could upload pictures over. Check out everything right HERE. i won’t probably do any more updates to the front page for a while, so just go directly to that page for all the new stuff. no promises on when i can add new things though.

Dinner at Hammam Lif

We started the evening by sitting at a Cafe in Hammam Lif. We waited across the street from the old, shuttered casino. During earlier times, the gambling was high-class and high-rolling. Now days, the gambling and entertainment district of Hammam Lif lies dormant, supporting a few cafes and other small business. Perhaps one day the glitz and glamor of the past shall return.

The large swath of the hill that is cut away is a fire break. Whether or not they work, I don’t know. Several years years back, there was a major fire on Jebel Rassas which could be seen all the way out at Sidi Bou Said, across the Gulf of Tunis.
