... of us to go to Mikrolimano, Little Harbour. We wanted to find the Yacht Club of Greece and to have dinner at one of the waterside places. We purchased tickets at a small kiosk across from our hotel.

... point to the items you want to try. It is quite fun because you go back and see the conditions under which your food was prepared plus the kitchen staff is busy chopping, cooking, baking etc.<br><br>Foods that we found common throughout Greece were the &#8220;village salad&#8221; which we call &#8220;Greek salad,&#8221; tomatoes, cucumbers, roasted lamb, roasted pork, fish, baked pasticcio, moussaka, fried cheese, eggplant, zucchini, stuffed vine leaves, stuffed peppers, stuffed ...

We have to "wake up" an hour and I still haven't gone to bed. I am chassing deadlines. Things forgotten, neglected. The sailing instructions for Delfiario (I forgot that) and the entry list for SEANATK (where did that come from) and all the articles that I didn't manage to finish. I also have to prepare a little the presentation for the congress. What I will tell them. Tomorrow, everything tomorrow. But tomorrow is in one hour...

... sooooo hot! We were being burnt though our towels. We went swimming in the Adriatic Sea, there was so much salt, it was so easy to float! On our way back from the beach we stopped at McDonalds and I had a McFlurry with kit kats! Yummy! It was much needed! That was it for Greece, it was a beautiful country and the people were so helpful! I didn't want to leave, but we had to go on to our last port, Croatia!!

... to get you caught up to today at least! Karen and I spent Tuesday June 18 visiting the Acropolis and Agora. One thing about visiting a place you've been to before many times, is that when you go with someone who hasn't seen it, you see it through their eyes. It was fun to watch my friend discover what it's like to be in a place you've only ever read about or seen photos of.

Our trip to Athens started at 9:30, which was a journey to the city centre with a quick guided tour of the ancient sites. We had 6 hours of free time and the information available helped us to select where we wanted to visit on our own. Our quick tour included the original Olypium Stadium built for the 1896 games, temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Arch ...

... organized tours. We took a walking tour to familiarize ourselves with the city and to meet some people. The first thing we noticed was all the rough looking dogs with collars everywhere. Our guide said that before the Olympics the city put all the stray dogs to sleep to make the city look cleaner. There was huge protests and now all the stray dogs are all protected by law, collared, and vacinated every 3 months or so. There were dogs on every street corner and they out numbered the ...

... on. Seurauksena siita paastelin koko 15 tunnin ajan (varmasti myos unissanikin bussissa) pienia kauhunaannahdyksia, kun rama bussinvanhus liikkui vauhdikkaasti pitkin JYRKKIA vuorenrinteita, ja tienmutkat olivat taynna muistomerkkeja (kauniita muovikukkia ja joissakin tapauksissa suorastaan hautakivia) niissa kuolleille albanialaishurjastelijoille. huokaus.

... to think to be (excluding my daughter Irina, who had to stay longer to complete her high-school) back in Skopje by early autumn. We needed to see and feel that there is life, exciting, rich and very rewarding outside of Athens. That is how I decided to make a tour in and around Switzerland. It was to begin in Zurich and then include as many places of interest ...
