Attending a family party celebrating the completion of The Idiot’s twenty-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea.
The Idiot’s mother, who turned 98 this week, was among family members at a party in Redding, California, to fête the end of the 20-year MedTrek in Carthage, Tunisia, earlier this month.
Thanks to The Idiot’s brother Kip for the beautifully framed photograph of The Idiot Emperor of Carthage.
The caption reads: “At the end of his 20-year walk around the Mediterranean Sea, The Idiot Emperor rules Carthage.”
