    It's a comfortable 63 in the people's republic of massachusetts. I'm living my own hell here--unpacking, dealing with painters, and sitting at the DMV for over 2 hours only to have my license change rejected! When do you come back to the states?

    Chris....yes the Greek's disregard for the environment is so true. When Papouli would toss trash irresponsibly, Yiayia would say, "Bill, do you think you are in Maritsa??" However, his trip I didn't notice such blantant disregard. The toilets were much cleaner that I recall. We really need to research why their system can handle TP. I would find this interesting, more so than some of the other "blather" you include in your "blog". What about why Greeks are so impatient, short-tempered and let their every emotion emote??? There is no sense of "the customer is always right" in Greece. What aboutwhy they are so generous with themselves and their things when they don't have very much. The Satti's couldn't believe the spread my poor relatives put out ...."when they don't even know us". Robbie and Chris were also very impressed with the fact that women still are expected to do all housework and wait on the males continually. Why hasn't feminism caught on in Rhodes? Research that. See you soon, Love, MOM
