RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Kudos, Roger, that is correct!
After a near-fatal bout of pneumonia, Winston S. Churchill rose from his sickbed in Tunisia for a Christmas lunch. The Prime Minister, dressed in his siren suit and Chinese dressing gown with blue-and-gold dragons, stands beside General Dwight D Eisenhower, with General Harold Alexander behind them, at his headquarters in Tunis on Christmas Day, 25 December 1943. (Photo Credit: Imperial War Museums) The other "capital" (and empire) is Carthage (founded in 814 BC), and Dido her queen, as best known from Virgil's "Aeneid". In 146 BC, after the third (final) Punic War, the Romans destroyed, redesigned, and then occupied Carthage. This is what is left of it today: Gene and Roger, you win a trip to Tunis (fascinating city), including visiting Carthage and a teatime at the historic artists' Cafe des Nattes in nearby Sidi Bou Saïd and to "have a mint tea among a clowder of cats": http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.de/2010...d.html?m=1 - and from both places you will enjoy magnificent views and light at the Tunis Bay: |
