I saw this story about Tunisia on 60 Minutes last night. I had to go to a map of the world to find Tunisia It's on the northern shore of Africa, on the Mediterranean, with Morocco and Egypt. I do know that part of the first "Star Wars" movie was filmed there (the aunt and uncle's home and the scene where Luke is flying his land speeder- that's Tunisia). I don't know my geography very well!

I don't know my geography very well!

Don't feel too bad. I was a corporate travel agent for over 30 years and STILL had to get a map out in order to route people the proper way. And I've been to a lot of them too! I used to say if it was Tuesday, it must be France!.

Here's some Star Wars trivia: The planet Tatooine got its name from a real place: Foum Tatouine (sp?) in Tunisia, which is (I believe) where the Tatooine scenes were filmed!
