I’ve been debating which of my blogs to write this – and decided here is best. Yes, it does involve Greece, but is a general topic so I thought I’d share it with my avid followers here :0)
Yesterday was a sunny day in Athens, but COLD. Ohhhhhh so cold. Many might think that Greece is hot and sunny all year round, but in the winter it can be cold – mainly because it’s humid, hence the air gets wet and into your bones.
Being as it was so sunny, I had the choice: go for a walk in the Park and have a hot chocolate, or do the same by the sea. I decided on the latter – and was so glad I did.
Hopping on the tram, I meandered my way down to the coast and watched the mixture of classical and grey buildings whizz by. After about 30 minutes, these buildings start thinning out, we turn a corner and there – I am confronted with the sea finally. I IMMEDIATELY felt my spirits lift. There’s something so peaceful about the sea that I can understand one wanting to make their livelihood from it or on it.

Sunday blues banished – the mixture of setting sun on the horizon is beautiful.
I agree the sea washes away peoples troubles -feeds people with its sea creatures-cools people down in the heat-sea is one of the most three dangerous things according to that greek saying PYR -fire GYNI-women THALASSA-sea lol all these can destroy! I love the sea it calms me and I can never get enough of it-actually I havent been to the sea for ages..maybe thats why I have been feeling down-MY LOVELY MED SEA IS BECKONING ME – I must try and go soon what with these flu bugs going round and cold I havent been but even a pic of sea makes me happy……amazing isnt it? Amazing wonderful SEA….
The sea is a desert with water, much as certain forests are a desert with trees. Deserts are very peaceful, unless a god is after you, in which case there is no place to hide. But then, the sea can be like that, too.
