Hilarious inpassing.org quote for the day: “She actually likes to have her office hours outside the office, near the window overlooking the plaza.” “Down the hall? Why?” “She says when she’s in a bad mood she likes to watch dumb people walk into the sliding glass door.” –Two girls outside Sproul Hall
Monday, May 6, 2002 10:30 Weather: Hot & sunny. I’m going to have to leave this section out, in future: no news to report. Location: Aolis hotel cafe, Vathi, Samos. Well, I’ve pretty much had enough time in Greece. I’m ready to move on. I’ve check out of the hostel, dumped my pack at the […]
Sunday, May 5, 2002 14:31 Weather: The clouds burned off, so it’s sunny again! Location: Vathi harbourfront restaurant Happy Easter! Happy holiday… when everything in Greece is shut.

19:40 Location: Back in Parikia at the Internet cafe. Just a quick note: I think I got sunburned today, despite the SPF 30 sunscreen… Should have bought the hat BEFORE the hike, not after, I guess… Ooops! Dinner tonight with the Australians. Off to Naxos tomorrow, where I hope to catch a Good Friday service… […]
17:40 Location: Kolimvythres beach, near Noussa, northern Paros. I got off the bus in Lefkes, a pretty village near the centre of the island, and headed upwards following a sign to Parikia. It led under some trees, which were a brief welcome break from the sun, but soon came out at the main road again, […]
