Meteora, Thessaly, Greece
Sunday, April 27, 2008
Meteora ought to be interesting to a former geologist. Don't get me wrong, the protrusions of rock shooting up from the plains are an interesting and unusual sight. And the monasteries tucked into the side of the sheer cliffs are testaments to human ingenuity and perseverance (not to mention bravery!) But 3 days in this little town was about 2 days longer than necessary. While it was nice that by the second day the shopkeeper and the restaurant people would wave to me when I walked down the street, I've always been more of a city person than a small town kind of girl.
My favorite part of Meteora was the fried calamari...
