Leg pain story: After suggesting that I may return home early due to leg pain, the Trip Leader recommended a visit to a doctor across from the hotel. He prescribed three pills plus an MRI. The pills worked wonderfully. Applying ice every night also helped. The MRI deduced some inflammation in my knee, which happens to most old people and really wasn’t related to my leg pain. The doctor visit, pills, and MRI cost a total of <$200.

Suspending the blog: Two reasons. 1) Simply put, for the few days that I was concentrating on my pain, I grew accustomed to not spending a hour or more each night typing out a blog and prepping the photos. So I stopped. 2) There wasn’t much in Tunisia worth writing about. The Roman ruins were repetitious. Yes, there were Star Wars stops, but they didn’t really rate rapturous excitement. Here are a few photos.

I’m writing this eight months after the fact. Moving on now.
