Back in Tunisia

I arrived in Tunis again this afternoon, and was welcomed by warm summer breezes, lush vegetation, and Mme. Thabet of Packtec and my good friend Rym Bedoui Ayari. Some of my favorite words in the world are, "Welcome back to Tunisia."



I'm staying at the Hotel Acropole in Les Berges du Lac, a beautiful setting on the waterfront, filled with walkers, joggers and bikers, and spectacular walls of bougainvillea in every color imaginable.



Tomorrow morning, I'll participate in a round table conference on the American market at the Tunisian American Chamber of Commerce (TACC). It's been my great good fortune to work with this group in the past, and I was honored to be included in their panel for Monday. I look forward to sharing my experiences with Tunisian companies interested in entering the US market.



The rest of this day will be spent recovering from the trip here via Atlanta and Paris. After the TACC round table in the morning, its off to Hammamet to join old friends at the first Tunisia Olive Oil Expo. I'll post information on the opening ceremonies and recap the TACC round table as time permits. But it's great to be back!
