Tunisia

i went to Tunis-Carthage for a little R&R.  i had delusions of grandeur about being James Bond in some swank hotel.  I stayed at a 5 star hotel and felt out of place the whole time.  nonetheless i tried my best to act the part by ordering room service and swimming in all of the four pools.  i reclined on my private beach and drank complimentary dr. pepper pretty much the whole time i was there.  it was a short trip but i was in euphoria the entire time; wrapped up in my imagination about being among african war-chiefs and Algerian Opium lords.

i was completely awe struck by the sunset and wish it would never fade, but alas that is the nature of beauty, it is always fading so that i may be reborn another day.

saturday night they played James Bond movies all night.  i felt a kindship to ol' 007.

i walked at least 10 miles up the beach.  it reminded me of when i was a kid and my parents took us camping or on vacation.  my dad would always lead up on crazy explorations of the area.  he would have loved this.

i can't believe they let me in this place.
