... She mentioned many times how the Centre really tries to promote peace through the marathon. With thousands of marathons now, all over the world, I can see how different cultures coming together for 26.2 miles develop a shared bond. It's like the Olympics when the world seems to all get along for 2 weeks every 4 years. I was given directions the short distance to the official marathon start where the beginning of the 2004 ...

And so, Hermes the God of travelers who was also looking out for the weak and the weary that day, heard my cry and provided me with a 20 Km decent, followed by a relative plateau until I reached my final destination.

James let us sleep on his floor, despite the fact he only has a small studio room, so with me Clare and Rachelle in there it was a bt cosy. Me and shell had to buy sleeping bags and matts specially but good old Argos came in handy as we got both for £15.00. I'm sure they'll come in handy again sometime. Rachelle got a ...

... for 2 days so I'm kinda glad we aren't driving anymore. I drove on very hard roads, so I am officially a manual driver now. I could even tackle teh streets of San Fransisco @ this point. On our way to our hostel, no more rooms without reservation so this should get posted soon (unfortunately this hostel charges per minutes so I have to type super fast!!) I'm a little worried about my photos. I took high quality pictures so I've ...

... ruin across the street and went on to say "This woman tells me that this was his house" Greek property law contains sections on inheritance of land and for a moment, my mind started to run wild about my potential Greek getaway... then reality set it. "The woman also tells me we're third cousins"
