A state of emergency was declared in several areas in Evia prefecture today after flash floods caused by heavy rainfall early in the day in the area where I live.



The Civil Protection general secretariat declared a state of emergency for 14 districts. Fire Department and Civil Protection ...

... degree. I haven't seen her in person in two years. Archaeologist Taxi Driver dropped Godiva off at my apartment Wednesday evening, and I made some spaghetti for our dinner. The noodles stuck together terribly, so we decided it wasn't spaghetti, it was bird's nest. Godiva had read on the blog about how I keep falling down all the time, so she brought me a present... big socks with ...

... Needless, to say there eyes that stared up at me did not help the meal. My roommates got fish that made there stomachs not so happy that night either. However, we made the best of it and afterwards went to a little place to try baklava, a Greek dessert. And then a funny thing happened. The waiter at first thought we were weird for only ordering one baklava to share. Then Caryn went up to ask him how we should get home ...

... brekky. A few of us then jumped on the little train that tours Athens, Tracey and Lauree went to look about the markets. I thought it would be a relaxing tour, without having exhert much energy, but at the Acropolis we all jumped off, so up I hiked again! Not too much of a bother as how often does one get to be in Athens. We had a wonderful time up there, we took lot of cool photos doing some fun poses. We then made our way to the airport to farewell Lauree and ...

... the painting in the classroom I'll probably be teaching in. It just seems odd to be in a Greek classroom because I think the subject is, um, Lot's daughters. Eeew. 5. My apartment has two interesting details about it. First, there's marble everywhere. I would have to be a millionaire in the States to have this much marble. There's marble on the stairs, marble on the floors, marble on the kitchen counters, there's even marble on the sidewalks! This is a country where stone is ...

Hi Everyone! I'm very sad to say that this will be my last entry while in Greece because I leave on Sunday for Germany. But since the last time I wrote, everything has been wonderful! Roxanne arrived on June 3rd and after she got off the plane we relaxed for a little while before going to see "Turandot," an opera at the Odeon Herodes Atticus, the ancient amphitheater at the base of the Acropolis. It was amazing. The costumes were exquisite, the orchestra ...

Almost 10 days on and just completely my travel blog...its been that busy at work!! So the final day in Hodge and Costello's adventure and a weird flight at 3.45am in the morning and the dodgy Egyptians from Olympic airlines trying to charge Aimee twice for her ticket at the airport and useless security checks. A treat was needed mandm's and almost stale bread in an upper crust roll...oh my god what were we doing. The flight was ...

... 28 years...), no one spoke English on the bus lines, pretty much nothing went right! Quite the culture shock. It's funny, cuz you just don't do anything right when you first start traveling. Rookies. We finally made it to the main bus depot, missed our first bus to Patra due to Turk droppin' a load, and caught the next one. I've not met a guy with a bladder and restroom need like ...

... Just standing underneath one of the columns of the Parthenon took my breath away. We also saw the Temple of Zues, and the Theatre of Dyonisos (which in it's day could seat 17000 people! That's like Rexall Place in Edmonton!). Yes, we have also been loving the cuisine with it's greek salad and mousaka galore. Athen is a noisy ...

... over my budget and what i was willing to pay....esspecially after being told that it would only be the one fee of 125us. She was really not going to help me unless i paid this money or kept my original destinations. had to be really persistant and even tried to bring on some tears in hope that she would feel sorry and just help me. Went also to the BA ticket lady and she just refused to help me and said Iberian had to ...
