This is me and my cousin Alex in our village in Lesvos.
It's not really our village but my aunt Pam has a house here and we go
here every summer. I can't even tell you the name because my Aunt is afraid
if I do it will be flooded with tourists. |
| There is a tower and a clock in the main square but it
is never right. But one time a week the mayor climbs the ladder and sets
it. This is me and my friends from the village. |

The house with the blue shutters is my aunt Pam's house
where we live inthe summer.It's mostly old men in the village and not a
lot of kids but I have a couple friends. My friend Fifi (his real name
is Joseph) works every day in his dad's cafe and sometimes I help him clean
the tables. |
| In Eressos there is a million kids because it has a good
beach. There's lots of cafes and restaurants too. |
|
|
The street on the beach where all the cafes are has no
cars and you can ride your bicycle on it. Skala Eressos is flat and a good
place to ride bikes but Greece is mostly mountains and you have to be a
really good bike-rider to ride all over the country. |
| This is me on a horse in my grandmother's village of
Xidera. In Xidera our friend Thanasis is called The Australian because
he used to live in Australia. He has this horse because his field is 2
hours away in the mountains and the only way to go there is on a small
path. |
|
 |
There is a lake in Eressos. This is me and my friend
Lila. Can you guess what we are doing? |
| We are feeding turtles. There are hundreds of them and
they love bread so if you come be sure to save your bread from the restaurants. |
|
|
In Greece people eat octopus. Before you eat it you have
to hit it against the rocks to make it soft for about 20 minutes and then
you rub it on the rock until white foam comes up. Then they dry it in the
sun and at night they put it on the grill. My dad catches octopus and we
hold them for a little while and then we let them go. When they swim away
they squirt out ink so you don't see where they went. They are really good
at hiding because they can change their shape and color. |
