A bike ride, a hike, and a twist

Yesterday I went for a walk in the mountain of zaghouan. But first I had to bike 10 Km te get there (and of course 10 more km to get home in the evening). I met some friends in a coffee shop in the city before Some of them go to work in the zipline in the mountain ( what a cool job!).

Me and my friend Mohammed went with them to the zipline and then started our hike. I wasn't just a simple hike because we both know the mountain too much for it to be interesting. There had to be a theme...

Originally, the theme was to find and collect the edible plants that grow naturally in the mountain.

Since Mohamed had knowledge in many different areas, I was sure to learn something by hanging out with him.

A few kilometers along the way we found some redish rocks that he said might contain some fossils. We started looking around and turning some rocks and breaking others until we found what he knew was to be found.

Fossils of shells from when the mountain was underwater. Don't ask me how or when but the existance of those fossils proves it.

So we forgot all about edible plants and we started picking and extracting fossils. We weren't well equipped, of course but we made do with the harder rocks around. We took these and we lef many more for later or for other people to find.

Mohamed said you neved find fossils when you bring the equipments and plan on finding them haha.
