THE TRIP BACK HOME

We had a round table all to ourselves, and all friends sat together. When our children were young, and we were young as well, - a time when the choir did not exist then, we used to have –music gatherings. Each week in a different friend's house.

Isn't that funny? I love sun, heat, swimming-pool, seaside, but I got bored in such conditions on Zakynthos. I thought as if I was in a cage. Touristic zone, small Porta Koukla, near Laganas - was too small for the city dweller like me. One restaurant and two shops when I could pay with credit cards. Is it EU at all? With such a huge touristic demand and therfore experience they didn't think much of the facilities.

I could see all the village from the top deck of the boat so I opted to sit and enjoy the sun and draw the clock ...
