from the desert to the rain forest

I spent much of the spring and summer back in my old home of the rain forest, Vancouver. Spent a month in North Vancouver dog sitting for a friend, where "Will" and I explored the trails and played.




































Had a chance to visit friends...



























spent some time with my kids and new grandson....

...played with them for a couple of days at Harrison Hot Springs....























































Spent a day relaxing in the beautiful Vancouver tradition of the Folk Festival.
























Most importantly, witnessed a miracle - a family member who it seemed there was little hope - now is well...








...and I got to spend time with little Maddex. I miss him terribly when I'm gone...







I find I have culture shock every time I go to Vancouver, and then again, every time I return to Douz.

What different worlds....

But then, how lucky I am.

south is south... north is north

I find there is a distinct difference between the north of Tunisia and the south.

I think the change happens around the area of Matmata or Gafsa. Almost like you are in a different country.

Enjoy the photos from Douz/Ghlissia to Tunis...
