Humorous Congrats Message For New Baby



Today we put to the rental car - we tried as we could with the baby wipes to pupa to mask traces of two rzygów Jasiek - the effect was quite - because no one reported claims. But you did the round eyes in surprise when it came to reading the meter. In 10 days we have done 1930 km - it is quite a good result:)
I will not describe the rest of the week: looks like - in the morning wsadzaliśmy our ass in the bus and stood in the congestion of larger or smaller (preferably more) to the subway docieraliśmy which wiozło us around the center. And there we started pub-around. Szlajaliśmy, for example, around the Square and Monastiraki Onomnia - and this is a special experience. Those around them are trading. You can buy everything: shops with herbs and spices, horticultural, ironmongers, old furniture, religious articles, clothing - everything well, everything. Of course, stores were not able to stay in control of premises occupied - in the southern style of all this "pouring out" of the street, creating amazing colorful mess. We entered it into the exhibition hall - the one part of the official butchers, to keep cutting the meat into suitable portions, in the second one could hear cries of fishmongers and seafood.

We went on the highest hill in Athens - Likavitos - breathtaking a stunning view of the entire metropolis: see how Athens is huge!




course, we went to the Acropolis - with a slight scare, though, because the attraction left on the last day. Victor from the beginning wanted to go "on the big castle" - but on New Year's Acropolis was closed, then went on a tour of the peninsula. Now, if it turned out that for some reason it is closed again - I do not know if we explained it to Victor. Fortunately, were some surprises.

Athens we said goodbye ugly weather: it was cold, very windy and raining most of the time. We managed to stab a hole in the clouds and dry slip on the bus. A
afternoon welcomed us with familiar frost in Warsaw ...

Victorian Goth Invitations

January 11 January 12

autkowania last day - at the end decided to do a longer trip and see Delphi. Sorry - I do not know whether because of the winter or on any archaeological work, not all facilities were available. But what we saw we really liked. Large impact on the picturesqueness of residues the oracle was the location of land: on the mountainside with breathtaking views all around. It had to make a big impression at a time when Delphi were visited by the Greeks who want to know the future.

ruins of the Temple of Apollo - here Pythia predicted



temple ruins of Athens - are below, on the other side of the road

Since going to Delphi, we passed snow-capped peaks of Parnassus (by the way the mountains themselves are amazing uplift: go to the plains - flat as a table, and suddenly grow out of it peaks over 2,000 meters), on the map and a guide came to us that a lot of the top can come - we decided to do so. We were able to enter more than 1700 meters above sea level - though the last meters overcame our autkiem slowly and carefully. Rather, the Greeks did not know such thing as winter tires - and there was snow. Nay - I will say more: we got to ski:) lifts did not work - because snow was not enough - but it looked like from space.

so it looks like: flat, and suddenly - bam ! mountains.

How You Make A Woven Scarf

A few observations - about the life of pedestrian life of the mother with children and the driving style of the Greeks;)

Greece I really liked as a country to visit, but rather I would not have lived in Greece with their children. Let's start with
playgrounds - are a little visited.
We have not seen any well cared for, not a beat playground. I am not exaggerating. It looks as though none of them are not exercised any care and conservation - have been put down and a dog with a lame leg is not interested in whether these toys are still safe. And they are not.
swings without backs, with pourywanymi, rusty chains, ladders with pourywanymi rails, bolts, slides broken to ride, so that the holes through. And I'm not talking about a sunken plazas in some holes: I speak here also of squares in the city center, in the center of Athens.

niet rails - for a screw free





Traveling with a pram is a nightmare to Greece. Sidewalks are from sasa the riddle - if at all are, of course. Suddenly able to reduce the width to 10 cm. Or end up in some bushes. Or turn into a garden at some tavern. Or a smooth transition in the stairs to a house. Or just disappear. To curb or stop by 30 centimeters in height. On your way you may even receive any number of cars or motorcycles parked in such a way that, for a pedestrian is about 5 mm. Of course all this means that in many places most convenient to go after the road - and try not to look nervously at each a passing car. The biggest hardcore
: I was walking with the trolley Pillows measure one of two lanes very busy road in the middle of Athens. Reason: zdematerializował sidewalk to the curb was parked a car at these cars were parked in the second row - the emergency lights, which in the code, not just Greek, in general southerly means "be right back."




parking in Greek;) (see cross section)




Another issue is pedestrian and light. Belts - indeed occur. In Athens, the major intersections are. In smaller towns you will not find - goes like, or where, or - where possible. But even in Athens for posterity captured two flowers associated with the stripes;)



As for traffic lights - motorists are strongly favored. Pedestrian lights are lit for a few seconds literally - if at all to light up - because we got such a crossroads. After 10 minutes of waiting - we went to red using a hole in the inexhaustible string of cars and motorcycles.
Driving ... hm .... There are more probably tell zdołałby Tibor - I have only the observations as a passenger.
The Greeks naczytaliśmy driving in the net and we have been bluntly warned the Athenian encountered in Okecie "remember - the Greeks are the worst drivers in the world! And most of them do not have a license." Cool. Super. It's very encouraging when you want to spend 10 days in the car.
on site the first thing I did - it looked at whether the cars have side mirrors (in Naples that most cars have them at least damaged, if not unfinished.) Mirrors were. It probably will not be so bad ... And in my opinion it was not. Yes - we had to get used to the Greeks lanes treat a contract - the city they love driving in the center carriageway, taking the belt between the wheels, in Athens it was necessary to prepare, that someone from the left lane suddenly decides to turn right, break the ban, etc.
Emergency lights - about them not fail to mention. It is a panacea for all Greeks to withdraw emergency, parked, turn where they should not. When one saw the car on the ongoing emergency in front of you - you had to be careful, because that car can do EVERYTHING: stop, turn in either direction, to begin to withdraw.
Greeks did not use lights. Light them as I have really gets dark - when Dusk finally light up position.
But with all these "kwiatkach" liked the relaxed drivers: there nobody nobody trumpet. Failed to exit from the crossing, and you half ass sticks out? Cool - you have overlooked the larger arc. In Warsaw, the culprit would have obtrąbiony for half of the city. We did not have a Stresa when parking somewhere in foreign places - where we all parked at random.


Maybe will add more once my husband - me at the moment it all:)
