Babcia in Tunis!!

So first we went to Dublin - what a journey. Had great two weeks (1 for Gillou) there, seeing all the friends and sites and Victor loved his room and his toys back. Pretty quickly we got reminded that it rains all the time plus in one week there was more crime on the Telly and papers then what we here of in Tunisia in a year I think! Then it was the way back to Tunis with Babcia - see the way we travel - Mila strapped to me and Victor rules the airports.

And then we had Babcia Ela enjoying Hammam, massage, coffee and tea, kids - great time. Thanks to Babcia Ela we have a great collection of photos - some of which we share here!

Oh yes - we got the car now full time! And the police now recognize us so we get friendly waves and get stopped only 3 times a months and not 8 like before! (have I mentioned my red lights fine?- maybe in another post..)

We miss Babcia big time now!

Kids

They do grow so quick - Victor and Mila are starting playing together - so here some photos for family and friends!

Veg talk

Ok - I know veg is veg for some - but I do not stop being amazed by the way the vegetable taste here and by my local corner veg shop - here the sample of leeks - perfect for leek and potato soup or boiled quickly - then add red onion and vinegrette and put in the fridge to make a great cold summer lunch!

Bizert - my favourite image and bennies (donuts) of course

This is my my favorite photo taken in Bizert in the old port.

Next time we went to Bizert on our own was on the way to Raf Raf plage (in the post that follows) and we stopped to get donuts with figs and dates - the best and our favourite - eaten sitting on the stone in the old harbour - the taste of those we would love to take home with us! The lines of people waiting for them was amazing - you could see the "donut" master preparing the dough in the back and heating up the oil..will be back soon for some more!

For Future - in case we forget

when Victor grows up! Today I have discovered, after two long years of wandering WHY Victor eyes are watering / crying when he watches the TV - not to mention that we did take him to doctor twice to see what was wrong! Our little Vicio Picio does not BLINK while watching! he is so into the movie etc that he does not waste time to blink his eyes! So mystery solved! Now we just have to remind him to blink from time to time at least!

Christmas 2009!

What a wonderful time of the year!

With family and kids (8+5!) Such a joy to see all little people having fun (not even deterred by sickness!) running havoc and bursting with energy! Braving the waves and rolling in sand, playing on the terrace and watching the telly together - Poun, Moun, Silvain, Marie, Sam and Aurelie, Princess Celia, Roman, petit Vadim - we miss you! And what a cado feast it was! Even Paddington Bear made it to Tunis!

Lindsays in Tunisia!

Its been ages since last blog but we need to catch up quickly. So we had a pleasure of having Conor (The Green Tomb Man) and Claire (The Sleeping Beauty) here in our humble abode. Many memories and lovely moments to remember but most of all - as mentioned Conor's Green Tomb and fun and games with Claire - eating chocolate crepes together, walking along Sidi Bou Said, drinking fig vodka, lazing on the beeches of Hammamet, downing spaghetti in Bizert and braving the wind on Bizert beach - many many more.

We had lovely time together!

Please come back!!
