A stroll in the coast



It is a rainy day today, with clouds in the sky, and every now and then I can see some raindrops here and there.

It's like we've all become a tight knit little family, it's crazy. Most people are so close and it's like we've been friends for years. It great!

... The Romans had divided the area up into 4 portions when they took over the area to keep the people in check, and this was not the leading city. It was Amphipolis).
