Our Last Field Trip Together

On Monday, December 22, 2015, our students and some parents gathered together at 6am to travel to Tunis for our last field trip together. Unfortunately, one of the buses had some difficulties, so we got off to a late start. Thankfully, though, our students love being together, so even bleary-eyed from fatigue, they had a good time! Our buses took us to Sidi Bou Said, which is a famous, beautiful place to visit outside the capital. It is on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Our students enjoyed their walk up to the lookout point, and taking pictures there and all along the way.

After a nice walk there, we boarded the buses again and went to an American restaurant that opened in Tunisia last summer: Johnny Rockets. (https://www.facebook.com/JohnnyRocketsTunisia) We each chose a Classic Hamburger or the Spicy Houston Hamburger, French fries or salad, and a soda. We also enjoyed having ice cream milkshakes. They had many different flavors to choose from, including chocolate, strawberry, Oreo, Butterfinger, and banana. The waiters and waitresses danced and sang to songs from the USA in the 1950's and 1960's. It was a great experience. Thank you, Johnny Rockets, for hosting us so well!!!

Because we had another bus issue, we needed to leave for home after our lunch. The students entertained themselves on the way home, and though disappointed that we weren't able to visit the Carthage Museum as planned, we all called the day a success!
