Shopping in the Medina






This fountain marks the entrance to the medina. The medina hosts several dozen colorful shops and colorful characters selling their goods. Their favorite game to play with the foreigners is to guess our nationality. As I walk by each shop, the workers call out, "Francaise? Italienne? Anglaise? Suisse?" So far, only one person has guessed correctly! The Berber pottery is brought up from the southern parts of Tunisia, where Berber populations live in the Sahara Desert.
