Getting packages to Exarchos, Greece is not the easiest thing in the world…. recently, I had occasion to order some photographic lens filters from the United Kingdom. A seller on Ebay had two filters that I wanted for my Nikon D7000 camera, while another seller in Poland had a battery charger for the same camera, […]

Check out the graph. Recall at the beginning of the month, all the alarmists were literally “screaming” that the “arctic was on fire” and there were predictions that this year, we’d see a record low Arctic sea ice extent for the satellite era. Actually, this is possibly not true – if you go to the

Yesterday, we drove to a beach on the sea near the Greek town of Marathonos. We took a very nice scenic route that had us travel by car over the dam (or φραγμα – fragma in Greek) that was built back in the early 19th century in order to create a man-made reservoir that was

The other night at about 1:30am, we decided after a long, hot day, to go for a walk to a kiosk to buy some wine. However, when we arrived at the kiosk, we discovered that the liquor store next door was also still open! And this liquor store has an amazing aged Tsipouro – (one
