Tunisian Ksar & Rocks from Vesta

A visit to a ksar near Tatahouine was another worldliness of red clay architecture.  Star Wars images flashed back as we explored.

Later in the strewn field we made direct connection with Vesta.  After a good walk to the site, eyes on the ground, we found the sparkle of green of the Diogenite pieces seem to be everywhere and everyone came away with a tiny piece.

Dave Eicher talks tonight.
