Malahini in Greece and Turkey

I figure that you may have LOTS to read if you are trying to keep up with my blog since the Internet was down several days last week. So, today’s entry will be mercifully short.

I thought I would just address a few really short questions.

1. Several of you have encouraged me to bungie jump. Don’t hold your breath. I am the kind of person who doesn’t like roller coasters, so I don’t have a yearning to bungie jump.
2. It is crazy driving here. I have not tried it, but I have ridden in cabs, busses and friend’s cars. In cabs I figure that they know what they are doing and don’t want to hurt their own car. In the bus I figure that we are the bigger one and so in an accident we would be OK. With friends I am sometimes nervous, but I mainly try to believe that they know what they are doing and hope that there won’t be too many other cars. People park just about anywhere that they figure is out of the way. The cars are very small. Notice the Mini? There is also a car called a Smartcar that is really tiny.

Here are some pictures of traffic in New Corinth.

3. Shannon asked if people still wear tunics. If you flip back to look at the pictures from past days you can see what people wear now. It is pretty much the same thing we wear, although I somehow always feel like I am dressed like a foreigner… It is a subtle difference.

You can look forward to hearing about toys, coins, boat-building, and answers to your other questions next week!
