Going to Miss Greece - Almost Last Day Today

Today is my almost last day before I go back to the USA.

I will miss the beautiful sites here in Thisvi, Greece.

This is the top of the mountain above St Nicholas Beach.

Drive slow on this road as there are almost always sheep.

Nearly Died of Fright - Almost Stepped on a Huge Snake - Wasn't Looking!

I was taking a cool picture and nearly stepped on a Greek Python - estimate it

was 40-feet long and as round as a beach ball.  I felt my soul slowly leaving

my body and traveling down the proverbial tunnel with heaven at

the other end.  There was a bit of hesitation - almost like time for a

snap decision.  I made it!!!  Decided not to go.  It was a hard decision

as Heaven seemed delightful - the little that I could see anyway.

But I decided to turn my back on the tunnel travel.  Decided that I really wanted

to see Meteora.  Nana says that she will come back with me and take me there.

Just wanted the family to know that Nana is on the hook for at least one more

trip to Greece.  The snake?  Oh, it turned out to just be an old firehose.  Not

sure why it looked so big and onerous.  Would have been a funny story in Heaven...

A Baden-Baden Walkabout - May, 2015

This Sculptor was getting a lot of attention from the lady tourists.
I think that they were impressed by his big hammer.

Found a quiet spot where young people obviously hang out & smoke.

I noticed that they have written a few things on their local red wall.

A couple of them were cute.

I have never heard this one.  A lot of truth to it... yes indeed...

I Keep Going Around in Circles - Must be From My Work!

This turned out to be a cool picture.  It is a picture taken through a very long, large

diameter pipe that has epoxy coating on the internal diameter.  The pipe is actually

spiral formed & welded.  The epoxy is applied in a spiral fashion as well.

All told, the picture has a very spiral looking appearance.

Snake!! Open Slowly...

As I have been hiking in Greece, I have been wary of snakes, a few of the locals

are poisonous.  I did see a very small snake but later in the hike, next to a cistern

in the mountains, I spied a large molt...  This is almost as good a a big bug taped

to my underwear... I put the molted skin head onto my little finger and chased

myself around...  Oh my gosh... how old memories prevail!  

As always, Pops  (With a twisted sense of humor.)

Sunset in Thisvi on Tuesday Night

It was a stark contrast, the receding sun illuminating the cumulus leftovers
on top of the black mountain as the evening crept into night time.

White versus Black... should be Gray in between, right?!

But all I see a bit of Blue...  Alas, I am Blue as

I am Here and She is There.      I miss Her!

Good night my Dear One...   as I said...   I miss You!

At work, in Thisvi, Greece.  Oh wait, it is Easter Sunday, Orthodox Easter Sunday, so it is a day-off.

As I recall, looking at the down loaded photograph, I think that I am sitting on a bench at the Saranti Beach near Thisvi.  Let me know if you think otherwise.  Just to keep things known, Erica, Carol and the Kids are at Chunky Sneeze in DC playing games on Pops Dollar - with a coupon!
