hot and humid at midnight on La Marsa beach

Midnight and it's still hot and humid in La Marsa even on the beach,where many Tunisians were enjoying a midnight swim.Many of the people were with their families and were content just sitting on the beach.
I sat down on the sandy beach hoping for a little bit of sea breeze but instead just the still hot air surrounded me.Actually it was cooler earlier on in the evening at Cafe Saf Saf where I had been watching Tunisian musicians play traditional music,the only problem after 10 or 15 minutes the music becomes a bit repetitive.

Paul Young in Tunis

Last night in the Roman theatre of Carthage 80's pop star,Paul Young,showed he still got the style as he rolled out the hits. Even though the Roman amphitheatre in Carthage was disappointedly half empty Paul turned on his beguiling charm.
His back up band provided a superb sound to compliment Paul's soulful voice and mid way through the concert the band were seated for a couple of non- rehearsed songs including the use of the tabla and accordion. In the encore Paul showed off his versatility in an Al Green/Temptations song.
Before the concert started up on the video screen at the back of the stage was a video of a Tex-Mex group singing 'La Bamba' but if the audience had looked closely they would have seen Paul Young among the guitarists for this band is Paul having fun with his group 'The Pacaminos'.
