Local Weather

Sunday, April 30, 2006




We drove through Agiassos (forgive me if the spelling is wrong-- Debbie was the navigator and I was the driver) and pictured above is Yanni. We stopped for coffee and Yanni is 80 years old and his father owned the coffee shop before him. He gave us his Greek coffee then more as a gift. We were wired on caffeine when we left. Driving through Lesvos in spring is fantastic!! All the wild flowers are in bloom. As well, there were vans full of birders. Apparently, Levsovs is the place to be now for bird watchers -- the migratory birds from Africa pass through here at this time. In Skala Kalondis, the birds were so thick, we could hardly sleep from the chirping!!We passed this field of poppies and were stunned.
