We were driving along and spied linemen working on the powerlines. I whipped out my camera and popped off a couple of shots on the fly. Tunisian linemen appear to be on par with American linemen.
Dougga
Here I am at Dougga once again. It sure is a great site!
We first drove up to the western entrance but decided to go find some food before visiting the site. Also, the walk was a bit further from this entrance. Good views though.
At the hotel that we ate at they had a tasteful display of looted Roman antiquities on display.
Attack of the sheep! The herders were moving them from the olive groves through the ruins to pastures on the other side.
One of the many cisterns on the site.
Some other temples and ruins that I hadn’t gotten to the last time I was at the site.
The biggest cistern complex. It’s used as storage now.
The leftovers from excavation. Used wheelbarrows.
The circus. It’s the only flat piece of land within several kilometers of Dougga. It appears that the Romans flattened out the top of the hill to make a spot for the circus.
An odd marker cairn covered in Latin.
People still live in and around the ruins.
Early Christian sarcophagi unearthed and stacked up like cord wood during initial excavations.
Early Christian crypt.
A parting shot of the theater.
Le Kef
Just one photo from the roof of the hotel that we stayed at. It was a very nice hotel outside of town a few kilometers.
