    CHARLES NELSONI see, your security level is set so high that you can't answer. To fit in to Lisbon, you must become accustomed to eating sardines and drinking shakes made of them. And work on liking bacalao. We are from a Portuguese part of the USA, SE Massachusetts. So we have lots of friends , since childhood, from that region, and we feel comfortable in Portugal. Seriously, maybe you should head out to the country where people are more friendly, or more soused. As you say, cities seem the same anywhere..

    Winter has set in. We see snow on Mt Parnassos, and it's negative 2 deg. C just a few miles away inland. We are hugging the shore, where it stays much warmer. The bridge to the Peloponnese is nearby, and we'll visit the bridge's museum tomorrow. The first person to cross it was the Olympic torch runner before the 2004 Athens games. Should be fun.Читать далее

    ... in Elliniko

    7 декабря 2016 г., Греция ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We've got a four room party house, next to the Metro 's last station. Wow, ths Athens tube excells for newness, quietness, lack of graffitti, employees on duty, seems safe, fast ride to the Acropolis. No broken escalators!
    The germans must have built it.
    There's a new museum called the Acropolis Museum . It has a life size replica of the top of the Parthenon, and they've taken all of the remaining friezes off the building and assembled them indoors, at a level where you can actually appreciate the art.
    For 2500 years people have damaged their necks trying to see the sculpture, way up there 80 ft high. Rubber necking , too, was invented here

    Kathy reached a snorkeling milestone during the last two weeks. She was able to learn breathing while using a snorkel, and avoid using the nose . It took the coaching of at least four people , as she had been in a habit for 20 years, of allowing water to go up hernose like it was a bird of paradise. Thanks Keith , you were one of those helping to break old habits. Today we took Kathy's snorkel apart , found that it had rough spots from the factory , smoothed off the jagged plastic , reassembled , and water tested . The silicon now seals perfectly . No more water leaking in.Читать далее

    Had a very quiet day. We miss Keith and Connie , who left for Spain today. For dinner, we went to near the Melting Wok ...to a place called Sambal Matah, which sounds very spicy, but isn't thanks to the kitchen staff being cooperative. Wondeeful falafel inside a burrito tortilla. They even call it a burrito, but inside is herbs, zesty tsatziki, and pico de gallo. It caame together well. Kathy had duck meat . Mmmm. We love that street. Whatever its called.
    Got drenched driving home. Sudden heavy rain has come in the pm the last couple of days.

    CHARLES NELSONSince Keith went ballistic, for good reason, I decided the world IS going down the tubes. Then I spoke with the Hungarian airbnb hostess and got a clue. They have the same kind of authoritarian politicians as HIM , and these people masquerade as socialists, but act like Fascists. For example the current president who fenced the border against immigration . The hostess is against the fencing. She is well educated, A graphic artist. She arranged part of the local Museum of Applied Arts. Will visit it tomorrow to check out her arranging abilities. Never really gave much thought to the layout of museums . Heady stuff.

    CHARLES NELSONKeith you would have detested yesterday. 6 hours of hiking on the roughest trails I have ever seen. Clambering down 3600 vertical feet , sometimes hanging off of chains with zero footholds. The most lackluster trail maintenance In Europe so far. But the scenery almost made the physical danger worthwhile. Enjoyed your Barcelona pictures.
