Tunis, Africa (الجمهورية التونسية)
The above photo is what it looked like as we arrived in the Port of (La Goulette). It had been raining and we could see this beautiful rainbow from our Balcony. Is this what you would picture if you arrived in Africa? Like in most ports, the sunrise was stunning. Once we disembarked from the […]
Chalkboard Hidden Door / Shelving

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie
