Jeesus, Joseph and Mary! Well.. whatever the Greek equivalent... you know what I mean... I want to go to these places.... I will consult.. .WOW... amazing views and amazing buildings and .......... WOW
Great builders I'm always a little awed when I see the magnificent buildings, statues, roads, etc, that were built 2,000 years ago. Imagine doing all that without modern tools!
BTW, did Wooley ever find out why he wasn't welcome in some places? Is his naughty past finally catching up with him?
Awe inspiring I so agree, it makes me feel very humble to see all of this and realise that so much of what we still use today is the same! Hahahahaha we still have no idea and he's not a happy Mammoth but hopefully the net part of Greece will appreciate his cultural viewpoint more!
It's Incredible So much stonework has survived but strangely very few bronzes so this little chap was a bonus to find....plus we managed to get a photo which was an added bonus!
The glories of Greece After all our travels Greece remains one of my favorite countries. Amazing ruins, fascinating history, beautiful islands and all those olives!
Ours to Couldn't agree more, there is such variety and history to see. Having spent some of my uni years doing a lot of the islands and having covered further ones with a smaller Zoe this is the first time we have made it to Athens.....so much to see and do :)
Jealousy is a curse but I'd rather be where you are than where I am. Burnham-on-Sea is not one of my favourite places but at least it has good wifi and it is not raining. Decided not to go to Wales this time since you are not there. Going to Oxfordshire instead to catch up with my sister's friends (if you have ever watched "Midsomer Murders" they sing in the choir(s).) Take care and enjoy your new life.
Rain in Turkey! We know Burnham on Sea well as Zoe and I used to go camping there when she was little. Oxford is beautiful and we had many camping holidays there as well usually looking for where they filmed Morse. We have left the rain in Turkey which seems to be worse than the UK at the moment, Athens however is currently dry if a little chilli.
Home! Lovely to read that you are back in Turkey Jo! Hope all goes well for you and the mammoth... looking forward to reading all about your adventures :)
Doesn't it just! Where ever the mammoth is there seems to be black cloud! The second book is being edited so need to pluck up courage to start on the third.....maybe next week or even the week after!
'We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us'
A truly multi-national mammoth that travels the world visiting places of interest, making new friends and causing mischief wherever he can. With my carer Jo (bless her!) I have scaled castle walls, walked in the footsteps of Roman Emperors and Maharajah's, climbed mountains, contemplated caverns, caves and canyons and attempted the Le Mans 24 hour race on a skateboard! Whether it be climbing a Minaret in Mostar, Paddling in the Arabian Sea, Scaling mountains in Kotor, Feeding chickens in France or Catching trains in India, not... full info
