This Week In Athens

Well spring has sprung here in Athens, things are turning green and flowers are starting to bloom.  Many assume this is the beginning of the long lovely weather we get here in Greece, but that's just not true.  Spring in Greece is spectacular, summer on the other hand is a scorcher.  Summer in Greece is like winter, only the opposite, the heat is oppressing, and it kills just about all plant life.  No one wants to go outside, and although it look beautiful, that's just a tease, the moment you step outside you're skin starts to burn.  So for now I'm going to enjoy the spring.  I'm going to go outside, explore a new neighborhood or two, and maybe watch some strange Mediterranean plants grow.
