Plenty of pictures etc will flow through my interloins (WHAT?) starting Monday. Until then here is a store which I greatly wish had been open when I walked by it in Glydfada.

Goddammit I'm on the internet while in Athens
While looking up the details on the tram I want to take to the beaches of Glydfada tomorrow, the first paragraph of the main page struck me as too tragic not to share. Bold has been added by the douchbag with the sunburned forehead.
"Forty years ago Prime Minister Constantine Karamanlis (the first one) was photographed proudly tearing up the tracks for the original tram of Athens, which in the eyes of many people signified the switch from being a city where people relied on public transportation to one where everyone has their own car. This led to the Athens of the last three decades, choked with pollution and traffic, where getting from one side of the city to another required a lot of patience or some imaginative routes, which as more people discovered them also became choked with traffic. It might be said that when the Athenians embraced the automobile they screwed up Athens completely. "

Addendum: A big hello to the person in England who found this website by typing "I wet myself today" into Google!
