Carnival Days

             Ancient Agora

On Aries Rock. The Acropolis in the background. This is one of my favorite places in the entire city. You can see every part of the city from here except what is behind the mountains. It is where St. Paul came to give his sermons. There are ancient steps up to the rock and a sitting area that has been made up.

The village and the sea. I loved the sea even though it was gray outside I could have spent the entire day there. The village was in the Peloponnese area the climate was unimaginably damp. I when I got dressed for the day it felt like my cloths had just come out of the washing machine. After I had warmed them up it was better but the dampness never let up. They use a wood stove to keep the house warm in the village. The houses are made of cement or stone. It was the really cold and damp. 

The gypsy man played music for me for a few hours I felt really bad for him because he just wanted to eat but he made really good money that night.

On the right is a Soulvaika. It was sooooo good! They serve it with lemon they marinate it with lemon olive oil and salt and oregano. Delicious!

 

Carnival Costumes I actually had the cow girl stuff with me. The picture in the middle has two of the girls I work with at the School the one in the middle is Angela and the one on the right is Victoria. Victoria is a Greek American and Angela is Greek British.  Angela is a drama teacher she was a super nerd. Victoria is a 5th grade teacher she was a Native American. The other two girls were new acquaintances their costumes were white trash, and Frida Kahlo.
