We took a ride on an open trolly sort of vehicle that took us around the city and up to the Acropolis. It was made to look like a train. The people behind us were from England and had a 7 year old daughter who never left home without her Pooh. Rosa usually carries "Traveling Puma." Pooh was well behaved and quite attentive during the ride. Mom said he has to write an essay when he gets home. Perhaps he should get himself a blog. Maybe "Traveling Puma" can do a guest blog for me when he is here.
Speaking of Blogs, I am reading a Jeffery Deaver mystery centered around the blogging world. Del happened to see a school supply store that had a few books in the window and suggested we go in to see if they had anything in English. I guess he noticed that my hands were beginning to shake from Kindle withdrawal. Anyhow, there was a lovely little bookstore downstairs which had a whole shelf of books in English, mostly mysteries. I got a couple for the trip home and started the Deaver tonight. It has quite a bit of information about the blogging world. One term interested me and made me wonder about myself a bit. It is "escribitionist" which is someone who blogs about him/herself. I have an unfortunate vision of myself dancing on a table wearing what my aunt Ruby called one of those short, flippy tailed skirts with a lamp shade on my head and my laptop hung around my neck like those trays cigarette girls in the old black and white movies wore. I'm guessing you might be wishing you could burn that image right out of your brains, but you know how we excribitioniists are. I am learning quite a bit about the folly of sharing TMI with the world at large The book is ROADSIDE CROSSES, by the way. It seems funny to turn pages after so many months, but if I fall on the book it won't destroy it, and it won't have to be turned off for take off and landing.
Off to Vilnius to meet the family. They get in on Wed. We are so excited to see them. I hope they will enjoy their visit in Lithuania before taking off for England and Scotland.
