Khartago. A place worth learning from at this point in history. A unesco world heritage series of cites.

The trade center of the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians from Libanon traded all around the Mediterranean. Rome decided to beat them – and won the great Phoenic war.

Today Tunesia maintains the amphitheater, the theatre, the baths, a Roman villa of once 1400 m2 with mosaic floor that still lasts today, the port, … and several other sites and a museum. Such a rich history of a nation rich on trading agriculture, salt, gold, slaves, olives, and a nation of the Romans that saw themselves as the civilization and the democracie with another religion. The original here was the Nubian queen, they still talk about. The Berber nomad tribes.

I visited with my parents in 2018. We came due to interest in history of trade and war. We then did not see all we wished and my father cannot travel anymore. So I feel like I also travel for him today. ❤️‍🩹

The love and gratitude for being able to travel and to do so with my daughter Ella, with my son Nicolai and my daughter-in-law Rebecca. How amazing is it that we all truly like each other and appreciate traveling together- for the second time now. I am soooo thankful. Life does not get much richer than this.
