Vartholomio
Yesterday I got to Vartholomio. Thia Maria and Zoe were waiting at the bus stop at Gastouni for Papou and I. Upon arriving, we went past the shops that they have there. Zoe owns a sweet shop right next door to Dionisi's mini market. Across the road, Thia Maria and Thio Yianni work in the newsagent shop. Zoe took us to the house were we had some lunch.
