Faouzi, the building supervisor at CEMAT.
Faouzi decided to try his hand at climbing the tree.
Trying the local oasis smoking plant.
We also tried some palm tree juice.

I interned at CEMAT for a good portion of my stay in Tunisia. CEMAT is the Center for Research of the Maghreb in Tunis. It’s an American research institution. I enjoyed my time there and learned a great deal about the inner workings of a research center and about scholarly research in a foreign country.
