a random town
Hello- Today was the second day that my plans did not work out and I am taking this as a sign, I didn't realize that NFP (no fixed plans) meant like not even the night before but it does. I wanted to rent a scooter to go up into the hills so when I went to talk with the man who rents scooters he said that it not good. He said that it will be good after September 15 but now there are too many people and it is not a good time to practice. A vespa would be a good thing to have at home so that when I am abroad I won't have any problem renting a scooter and proving that I am a good driver. Ok so can't get a vespa, tried for a quad but didn't have my liscense on me so I gave up. I went to the bus station and bought a ticket to the Zas Mountain (Zeus) got on some bus that would pass it (apparantly these busses are all cross scheduled meaning there is only one bus leaving for a specific area and instead of writing the route it is written each major village stop as the end of a line). So I passed the mountain...and thought this looks too hot to walk up right now, kept going and when the majority of the people stood up so did I. I asked a lady "end of the line" and she repeated "yes, end of the line" which it wasn't but I got off anyway. I ended up in a very nice town, actually one mentioned in my lets go guide. It is called Apiranthos and it has four museums. The currator of the museum of fine arts told me that it is the third most artsy place in greece behind athens and an island near mykonos. Interesting little place and here are some pics. I made it back on the bus and into town. Irene (who owns the hotel) sent her son up with some chocolate covered lemon cake and I have been indulging ever since. What a life.
ps. I met some frenchies :)

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that guy who rents scooters. He must have heard my foul mouthed objections I shouted all the way from here. You had better listen to your mother!!!!!!!! NO SCOOTERS OR QUADS!!!!!!!! Cuz You will most definitely feel the wrath of Alice on your a$$ if you do. Does Ranco Los Amigos ring a bell? I think we will visit there when you get home. Maybe that'll get thwart those wild hairs you seem to have growing inside where the sun doesn't shine.
