The Irish Embassador

An Irish Embassador role was up for grabs;last Thursday I went to a casting session for this particular role in a Channel 5 production of a film based on a true event that happened in the events leading up to the Iraq War.My audition could have been better neverless it was fun trying out for the part;I don't think I could have done a good Irish accent.The filming is to take place in the city of Tozeur.

Clear Blue Skies over Zaghouan

Clear blue sky and a warm sunny day was the perfect weather for Sunday's trip to Zaghouan;next two days brought a bit of everything:grey cloudy sky,rain,a biting cold blustery wind. On the way to Zaghoaun we passed the impressive-looking Roman aqueduct;over 77 miles all the way to Carthage.The original complete aqueduct must have been even more impressive.

Visited the old part of Zaghouan and the temple of water.

Later had lunch at the Farmhouse restaurant.

In the morning on the coach I provided a commentary and on the way back to Tunis I did a short quiz on some of the things we'd seen.
