First glimpses of Greece

19/3/11

Kalamata, Greece


Snowcapped views, sun, 70F, and biking; what more could a lad want?



We have spent the last four days in the southernmost part of the Greek mainland: Peloponnesus. What we have found is nothing but the most amazing scenery with the smallest of towns and a smattering of different landscapes. The only constant in all of the region is the olive tree, which has a stranglehold on the flora, both farmed and wild.




Valleys that feel as ancient as the Earth, covered with olive trees; Jurassic Park!



I am keeping this short because of the need for sleep. Expect more pictures and actual stories the next time we wed. Until that moment comes, stay strong and eat some feta cheese!
