Well duty calls again and I'm gonna be back again on July 23rd, close to midnight. As always, I promise to post pics. Tip: this city claims to be the capital of Europe... (those central Europeans never look to the east :P )

 

On another note, yesterday (July 20), it was the day of Prophet Elias for the Christian Orthodox Church. The phone didn't stop ringing for wishes and good fortune! The stories of his true whereabouts and actions differ from one religion to another, so I will tell you about the little story that I like the most.

 

One day Elias got so fed up with all the "bad things" he had come across on earth, so he did this: he grabbed an oar and started climbing a mountain, intending to stop only if someone couldn't tell him what he was carrying. He met several shepherds on his way up to the mountain. He finally reached the top, found another shepherd and asked him what he was carrying. The shepherd found it difficult to understand and told Elias that he was holding a hovel. Elias made his small camp there and lived the rest of his life on top of this mountain, where crows were bringing him food all day. That's why all the churhces of Prophet Elias are built only on top of mountains.

 

So in case I disappear one day, you know where I'll be :P

 

I leave you under the sound of a wonderful Greek song, difficult for all of you understand, so I apologize in advance if you don't like it. The song is called "Princess"

 

 

@ serbsta : Your Greek friends may translate the lyrics for you brother, I'm sure you will find them awesome :)

 

P.S. July 20th is also one of the saddest and darkest days in Hellenic history, as this days our "neighbours" invaded in Cyprus back in 1974. The common rant since then for all of us is "NEVER FORGET"
