Is it a fine line, or does the oasis sort of fade away into the desert? Maybe the irrigated spaces create a more defined edge, like the irrigated crop circles that one sees in the great American desert... I looked for where you might have been on google maps, and this is my guess: how close am I? http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Tozeur,+tunisia&oe=utf-8&client=mozilla&ie=UTF8&split=0&gl=us&ei=uO0BSpvIK5ewtAPL39X_BQ&ll=33.950195,7.9953&spn=0.058668,0.118446&t=h&z=13&iwloc=A This description of the oasis got me thinking about what the area between the oasis and the open desert is.

What are their winters like? Does it rain more in different seasons? What is the change of temperature in the different seasons and in the daytime and nighttime? Excellent report. I so look forward to your reports. They are well done and informative. Your skill in writing reports gets better and better and better. Thanks for sharing with us. Love you soooooooo much, Grandma Cole Hi Cyrus, You mentioned they plant vegetables in the summer. What are their winters like? Does it rain more in different seasons?
