Oversized and Overseas – Days 5 & 6

Posted on April 26, 2012 by dprichmond • 2 Comments

My last two days in Africa were a blur.  On Sunday we traveled to another shopping district in Tunis, Sidi Bou Said.  This part of town is famous for it’s decorative doors and scenic overlooks onto the Mediterranean Sea.  We shopped, haggled and ate, and then we went home to start packing souvenirs and to … Continue reading →

Oversized and Overseas – Day 4

Posted on April 21, 2012 by dprichmond • Leave a comment

In America, you can’t judge the country by one city, and Tunisia is no different.  Tunis is a large, noisy metropolis that constantly assaults your senses with sights, sounds and smells.  On one corner you may find a marketplace similar to grocery stores in America, yet on the next corner you will find a pile … Continue reading →

After surviving 14 hours of travel and catching up on some much needed sleep it was time to experience the sights and sounds of North Africa.  What better way to do this than to go to the medina, the shopping district, where vendors haggle, harangue, and hoax customers and tourists in loud, open-air fashion?  As … Continue reading →

Whew!  I made it to Africa!  Traveling overseas has long been on my bucket list of adventures, and now I can cross that off and move on to more important things on the list (like deep-sea fishing).  Over the next few days I will try to keep an account of each day of my journey. … Continue reading →

Ministry Confessions

Posted on April 10, 2012 by dprichmond • Leave a comment

As a minister I often adjure my congregation to be open and honest with each other, even in areas they struggle.  After all, how can we help one another if we don’t know what battles we are fighting.  I realize that some ‘openness’ needs to be confined to a small group or even to a … Continue reading →
