i am exhausted and in Greece. island of Samos, i was hoping all the guys would look like John Stamos.
it is another patron saint day, i think the virgin mary?.... fire works will wake me tonight.
i rode a scooter all over the island today and hiked the rest. lots of mountains and monastaries, the nuns come out and wave and offer ouzo when you walk by. the monks come out for guys only- they dont like to mix. i cant imagine i pose any tempatation: sunburnt, coverd in sweat and sand with a few dogs following me.
pat a dog on the head and it will follow you to the ends of the earth, i tested the theroy today. lots of stay doggies here, very sad. i spent the moring at the dog shelter, next door the the municiple dump. it is run by a German nonprofit, Greeks dont care about dogs. they adopt out about 2 dogs a year to locals and 100 dogs to Germany and The Nethrlands- weird.
this island is beautiful, Greece is beautiful. also very old.
as i wonder around through hills and valleys i usually stumble upon a pile of rocks with some sign marking it as a histrical site errected in 3,000 BC and then toppled in 312 AD, when some society that no longer exsists was spreading the chrisitianity . this stuff is everywhere and you can walk all over it, because it is everywhere!
speedos are for everyone.
there is no falafel in greece and hummous is hard to find. must get further East. day trip to Turkey on monday.
i need a haircut, i look like a surf bum. nice shorts line and sunglasses line, bleached out ratty hair.
sleep awaits.
